Lavandula augustifolia (Lavender) - For Alice


If you only you can smell
the Lavender flowers
as I could
when I was there
If only we could
always be surrounded by beauty
as I was
when I was there
'If ' is just a word
we use when we wish for something
that we believe we really need
to be cheerful and happy
At times we do not see possibilities
until they materialise before our eyes
like I did not know that lavender flowers
could be white or pink as well
Or that they must be shaped in the way
that we have been used to
So many flowers, so many photos taken
of lavenders, if only...

Thank you Alice for linking me to your blog (blush). I am very honoured that you made such a wonderful acknowledgement of my post on your favourite flower. More than that, I am just glad that those photos brought you so much joy. Cheers!

Lavender is rather wonderful and there are so many varieties of it suitable for varying climates.
Just don't be fooled that a lavender sachet will keep moths at bay...they love it!
