Pictures of my lavender

13 years ago

Finally, I figured out how to post pictures (and found my cable to hook up the camera to the Internet) LOL

Here are some pictures I took last night of the Hidcote lavender. I like that it's more purple, not as gray as some lavenders...it's also done very well surviving our zone 4 winters :)

Here's a close-up

And then, a bumblebee flew up, while I was trying to get the picture :)

Yay pictures! Your lavender looks good. Most of mine has already been cut down. Congrats on figuring out how to get those pictures up.

Ali-b, Thanks, I'm really happy with how well the lavender has done this year. It's the second year and all I've done is water it.

I'm going to try to take some more pictures of my gardens, once I've weeded a bit! LOL How are your gardens doing? Do you have any new pictures? I'd love to see them :)
