Lavender

For my second submission to the Hello Hello Group activity, I returned to my garden for another favourite of mine. It is of the Genus: Lanvendula, and it is related to mint at the Family Classification . It is commonly known as Lavender.

Here is a picture of my lovely Lavender shrub. I simply love it. It gives a wonderful fragrance to the garden and attracts weird and wonderful pollinators. I got this bush about two years back from a friend of mine, which lives in a city 1100 km away. So, this little “bush” has travelled a long way and to make its home here in my garden.
