Lavender

I love lavender -- its color, its perfume, its flavor. It makes me dream of Provence: of endless rows of purple blossoms, of hand-milled soaps and fragrant sachets in lingerie drawers and under pillows, of delicious floral-scented ice cream dripping from crisp cones...Our homegrown lavender literally pales in comparison.
