My lavender is blooming and I was finally able to cut enough to put 10 stems each into little 4 x 6 organza bags. They dry very quickly and the buds will fall off with the slightest touch so the bags are a must if you are going to handle them at all. This way they can be handled and crushed to enjoy the aroma all I want. I will take one to mom tonight. The other is going to my friend across the street. Debbie and I take turns watching each others pets when we are out of town. I LOVE lavender. The buds keep their scent for many months... all you have to do is crush them a little for a fresh wave of scent.

My plants are Grosso Lavender. I have three of them but only one is blooming enough to get any buds.. it will be another week at least before the other two are ready.

I have NO idea why the photo is upside down!!! it is correct on my computer.. any suggestions? LOL
