Looking upon a well established, well grown Lavender, I find myself wondering if there is a more perfect plant.  In form and habit it grows in a most lovely shape, it's long slender stems arching upward giving the plant a graceful urn-like appearance.
Lavender's warm fresh fragrance has long been associated with cleanliness and purity as it has been used for centuries in the washing and storing of clothes.  It's name comes from the Latin lavare meaning "to wash," and the Middle English word lavendere, meaning a "washer of linen" evolved into launderer.
Though it has had some minor medicinal uses it's prime virtues lie in it's beauty.
Beauty of shape and form and color and fragrance.
