These summer florals make me so happy. It's a great way to practice capturing the essence of a plant. I love all the herbs, but lavender makes me happy on a cellular level.
Our lavender is pretty happy. There were a few plants that suffered greatly from the affection of the dog. Turns out that Pepper loves sleeping on lavender. [Who can blame her?] Several of our bushes were crushed and had to be pruned way back, but they are mostly recovering and we're trying to find a way to protect them from her attention again this year.
