Marie_Angelique	Posted - Jul 17 2013 : 4:02:47 PM My father always loved the image of lavender fields so this year I grew a few plants that grew beautifully! Today I harvested the flowers to use at home and it was a bit emotional since dad has only been gone three months. But I know he is smiling. "The best place to find God is in a garden.

LadyInRed	Posted - Jul 18 2013 : 12:39:09 AM Maria...I could just picture him standing up in Heaven, looking down upon you and smiling and smelling the Lavender from there. Very pretty pictures! I love Lavender too and I have little sachet's of it all over my house. blessings and hugs, peggy Farmgirl #1326 http://ladyinredsite.blogspot.com "Leave Your Cares Behind...Join Us On The Porch" "I'm only as strong as the caffeine I drink, the hair-spray I use and the Girlfriends that I have."

Montrose Girl	Posted - Jul 17 2013 : 6:48:56 PM Betty, a high aroma lavender is Grosso, it is considered a lavindin and has nice long stems and strong smell. Laurie http://www.inntheorchardbnb.com/
Betty J.	Posted - Jul 17 2013 : 6:23:42 PM Was there a specific lavender that you planted. I am looking for one with the most aroma (scent). Betty in Pasco
mscountrygirl	Posted - Jul 17 2013 : 5:23:09 PM Grief is a tough companion but eventually you will discover one day he isn't as close as he used to be. Your lavender is awesome. Thanks so much for sharing your picture and your story. It all comes back to the ground!
