Lavender

On Saturday we visited Sunshine Lavender Farm in Hurdle Mills, NC, and everywhere were shades of blue and lilac.


We ate lavender ice cream and lavender cupcakes and drank lavender lemonade.   We learned that lavender is hard to grow in our humid climate.


One species needs a little less sun than the others, and if I'd bought a plant it would have been this one.


But temperamental plants are beyond me now.  The temperaments of people require enough work, I find, and so I will enjoy the beauty of this ancient herb as an occasional visitor.
