Lavender is one of my favorite flowers. So last year I was able to find the actual plants at my nursery, and planted them in my garden everywhere. In total I have 12 plants and tons of flowers during spring and summer time. The fragrance around my home is incredible, it transports me to Provence not mentioning the wonderful inspiration they bring, and the bi-products of these love affair are not only flowers to enjoy and paintings, but the flowers are used into my home made soap.
