I can’t believe how fast I went from the lilac party to lavender love … but when I spied these lovely plants at Costco I was thrilled!
I haven’t been able to find this specific type at any of the greenhouses I’ve been haunting. I love the small, slim wands with the tiny flowers.
The scent is beyond words … but even more so when dried (I know because I’ve already dried a few sprigs).
So far I’ve simply photographed the plant like it’s growing in a field that goes on forever, but ideas are spinning around … small bouquets, dried bunches, perhaps even a wand or two …

I want my summer to look like this … lazy, hazy, and dreamy …

Lavender is heavenly isn’t it? Beautiful images today my friend. Happy Friday!
haha. i saw your post title and said, ‘i thought we were on lilacs!’ :)
Oh my!! A Costco find…how amazing! Beautiful beyond …. and the fragrance must be just delightful!
beautiful pics! I wondered how you had lavender blooming already when mine is just starting to open up…in fact, I think I need to cut some and bring it inside…happy weekend Barb!
oh … no I’m not so lucky as to be able to grow lavender, Amy!
So very pretty! I have one plant that survived the winter but I haven’t beed able to shoot much of it yet and I better get after it before it’s too late. It’s in a bed at work so I keep forgetting about it.
Oh my goodness, that’s beautiful. And when I first saw the photos I was thinking, hey how come her’s are blooming before mine, LOL.

I could of sworn these were taken in a field of lavender! Beautiful shots.
Such beautiful pictures Barb! Amazing that these lavenders are already blooming…. I’ve a bed of lavender in my garden but they are far from blooming…. I wonder why you wouldn’t consider growing a plant of lavender in your garden Barb, it’s quite easy to grow, even in regions with cold winters… there’s such a summer and hazy mood in your pictures… I’d like to find myself in the middle of a lavender field!
Beautiful, Barb!
Ours are not even close to this yet, bloom-wise, but the plants did survive the winter (surprisingly!), and really look good, so I am hoping for some wonderful blooms.
Have a great weekend!
I miss you! Lavender is such a favorite of mine whether fresh or dried. I lost some over the winter and I need to replace them. Your shots are divine! xx

Oh, I love lavender … wonderful captures and edits !
And that looks like an amazing summer to me, Barb ! :-)
Have a nice weekend,

Your lavender is lovely! We’ve not had much success at growing lavender either. I love that mug with the bits of lavender! Just so pretty.
Barb, I love these edits! Sometimes it can be a challenge to photograph lavender so that it doesn’t look like a clump, but you’ve done an outstanding job! Love the hazy, dreamlike version the best!
Lavender is so lovely, and such a boon to the bees. Your photographs are really beautiful.
