Ever since I was a little girl, I always wanted to grow lavender. I wanted to have lavender soap, shampoo, and the scent bags to put in the dresser drawers. Now, I have the joy of growing it in my garden. Sometimes, I like to rub my fingers on the leaves and then inhale the wonderful scent.
If I am lucky and diligent, I will dry some this year and enjoy the fragrance all winter.
There is a type of lavender that the aroma is mainly in the leaves, they have a high concentration of oils. I loved to rub my hands over the leaves and get the fragrance that way.
ReplyDeleteI believe that this is the lavender that I have. Whenever I rub the leaves between my fingers the most wonderful scent is left.
