Lavender is usually associated with Provence and the south of France. But it thrives in the Franche-Comté as well, beloved by bees and butterflies as well as humans. This shot may be a close-up rather than a true macro, but I send it to you from France with love for Sally’s challenge. Thank goodness for an iPhone that will go anywhere with me!
This, that and the other thing 
Beautiful – I love lavender
I do , too, Peggy. This morning the smell wafted on through the open window. It was divine!

Nice photo, Janet. I wish my iMac had a Scratch & Sniff display.

Great idea. Maybe there’s an app for that, Allan. Or you could invent one.

Beautiful Janet! How much longer are you in France for? Sounds delightful!
I’m having a great time, Nicole, although I’m not getting quite enough sleep. 😴 I fly home this coming Sunday and although the time will have been too short, how can I complain about having two weeks here!
Two weeks is lovely Janet! Have you been in the same place the entire time?
I’m based on the same place, staying with my s-i-l and b-i-l. But we go out and about every day, so I’ve seen lots of different places.
