They love the lavender..........
These are some cuttings from my Lavender plant that I posted about last month. They look a little droopy in this picture that I took a couple of weeks ago, I moved them to a different location and they seem to be holding up better.

Ahhhhh yes! Love lavender. Your is looking so pretty and I can see why the bees love it too. Hope your cutting take and you will have more to plant in the garden soon.
Lavender is a plant I don't have, but wish I did. Yours is lovely as are all your blooms for Bloom Day. I've noticed, too, that bees are drawn to purple and lavender.
What a beautiful color of lavender! Don't you just love the smell?! It's so soothing.Good luck with your cuttings!
How funny Karen, I just blogged about my Lavender too.
Thank you for your link!! and Happy Planting this year

Hi Karen. I love wandering thru your site and looking at all your flowers.
I have tried and tried to grow lavender. It never survives the winter for me. Yours is beautiful. You inspire me to try again.

You have enough lavender that you could make lavender wands. I used to make them when my daughters lavender would bloom up a storm like this. I can't seem to grow lavender unfortunately.
I love it! I will have to post a picture of mine. The bees do love it. I did loose two plants this past winter, but had picked up some at the end of the season last year and they survived.
