Lavender needs alkaline soil and ours is acid, so I've never seen lavender except shots of fields in France or Italy, or perhaps one spike, laying on a towel in a bath advertisement... so THANKS!, Sidd! Now I feel like I know what it really looks like. I'm surprised that the flowers are individually so small. They look like a blanket of solid cover when massed together. I love the way rose gardens look (in photos) when surrounded by lavender hedges, and the play of the color of the lav flowers with the roses, instead of the more typical boxwood.
Knowing that lav wouldn't be likely to thrive here, if it would grow at all, I've considered Nepeta Walker, (I think), a cat MINT, not a cat NIP. All the same, I keep having thoughts of bazillions of cats coming out of the woods and pooping in my garden. Still haven't tried to germinate all those catmint seed packets I bought.
I like the music you've chosen here. Soft, like the flower colors, soothing, it sounds 'Egyptia'n to my ears, which have never heard 'real' Egyptian music either.
Well done. Love the way you are constantly experimenting.
