"Best among the good plants for hot, sandy soils are the ever blessed lavender and rosemary, delicious old garden bushes that one can hardly dissociate."
Miss Jekyll, Home and Garden, 1900
Today's post features lavender because it is the only plant (apart from indomitable rosemary) flowering in my winter garden.
Have you ever noticed how every lavender flower is made up of many tiny flowers?
Can you tell that I'm itching for spring?

For a minute I was confused, trying to remember what season it was that you were in. No flowering lavender in CT in the winter-
yours is beautiful Kate.

I have no lavender this winter, because the lavender plants I had died in summer with the heat. (sigh) Have jonquils, though, so it's not all gloom. :)

lavender is lovely - do you have any suggestions for using it somehow? i kind of have a rule that my plants have to gimme something back ;) except white flowers, because i love them! i know lavender is used a lot, i'm just not familiar with it's uses, other than its essential oils. is it edible too?
