Lavender is my favorite flower, for smell, appearance and usefulness. I never knew there was such a thing as huge lavender farms, can you imagine how good that would smell?

OK, I might lose my man card here…. but I LOVE LAVENDER TOO!! In fact, I am completely hooked on the new Paul Mitchell tea tree shampoo with Lavender in it… you have to get some! We also just had a lavender festival in Tulsa, and it was ROCKING… you picked a great flower to love.

I would LOVE to visit a lavender farm. All I have at home are two potted lavender plants (if that’s what they’re called). I don’t use them for cooking, or anything. I just like smelling them.

Kristin, Dad and I have about 20 of those plants in the backyard. i had no idea what they were until they bloomed in late spring. They are all over the Farmers Market that we go to on Sat. In huge bouqets (?)
Love you, Mom

Some friends of mine have a little country house in the South of France. It sits in the middle of lavender fields. The smell is amazing. We went out to a field and gleaned the lavender left after they harvested. That is when we discovered that my middle daughter is allergic to it.
