Differnt varieties blooming over time. And I would have enough for projects if I remebered harvesting them in time. Some years ago I harvested them all a very sunny day in Summer, made an infusion that smelled soo much we almost suffered from lavender poisoning. I then used the infusion to make a lavender soap, and guess what - the soap had almost no smell at all. <br />You'll have to grow your own lavenders for pillows, Thy have to be cut just before the flowers unfold to smell, withered flowers have almost no smell. When they cut the lavenders at the shopping centre you could ask for some of the cuttings. If you put them in moist growing medium in a shady corner of the garden and keep them moist, most will start growing. I propagate lavenders that way. Originally provoked by somebody who told me it could not be done - just try and say that to me. I'm very stubborn.

I noticed yesterday that the lavender flowers (at the shopping centre) that were blooming here three weeks ago, are now dry and withered. I am tempted to take my scissors along next time I'm shopping to snip off the flower heads. I could make some lavender pillows. Lavender flowers are very expensive if bought from a shop. I wonder if you grow enough lavender to use in your creative projects. Beautiful photo!Sue Elvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461161335483760142noreply@blogger.com
