I went out a few days ago to pull weeds (or dig them up if recalcitrant) and spotted one of my lavender bushes looking absolutely strong and beautiful! Originally there were three but the other two didn’t make it for some reason, making this one even more appreciated. I have another, older one near the house too. I noticed today that yesterday’s and last night’s rain beat it down but perhaps the sun will revive it. This is Spanish lavender, not the tall plants of Provence, but I appreciate them just as much or maybe more because they’re mine.
This, that and the other thing 
I have had my lavender plants just die for no reason at all when there are others close by who live on
It’s a mystery. 😳
It’s lovely, isn’t it? It grows naturally in the wild here. A friend gave me a cutting of a different variety from her garden yesterday to put in a vase. I was disappointed that it had no smell.
I don’t think mine has a scent like those in Provence but the beauty makes me happy.

Beautiful – lavender fields in Provence always attract attention both in terms of smell and sight. Second best after women who use lavender ingredient in their fragrances. 🙂
I miss the markets in Provence where lavender was so inexpensive. The fields smelled good even after harvest.
Beautiful and fragrant – both good things. Enjoy!
I will, Judy.
Love your title for this post!
🥰. Thanks. It was a big part of the fun of the post.
Yep! Apologies to Jane Austen! 🥰🥰
I’d like to think she’d approve.
😄
Beautiful
Thanks, Debbie. I love it.
Great photos. I’ve tried to grow lavender here, French and English, but it doesn’t do well. Will look for the Spanish variety. Who knows, maybe it’ll work.
I talked to the owner of a lavender farm here and he said Spanish lavender is what I should get. Fortunately Lowe’s had it. 😁
Gorgeous color!
Thanks. I love it.
ahh…ahhh.ahhhh.chooo
scents-ibility, love it! The close-up image is beautiful especially.
Thanks, Amy. The title was part of the fun. 😁
Beautiful.
Thanks. 🥰
Do they smell as beautiful as they look, Janet?
They have a slight scent, not like those in Provence but nice.
Love your title! And your lavender is looking healthy and beautiful.
I hadn’t checked on it for some time so I was excited to see how good it looked. Glad you loved the title. 🥰
It’s beautiful! 💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks. I think so too.
