Daffodils, Pansies, Irises, Roses (well, that's Manda's favorite), Violets, and Mountain Laurel. I love the scent of Lavender, but I've never seen the flowers when they were fresh, just dried.

I have at least a dozen varieties of lavender growing outside in the 'garden'. The biggest bush is around 3' in diameter, and if the import restrictions weren't so strong I'd send you the entire cutting off the bush!

I have some 'bee' lavendar too, which is really cute as the top of each cluster of florets has two little purple 'wings' that stick out the top.

If the weather's nice I'll take a pic or two today. The white lavendar didn't do as well this year, sadly but the purple stuff is all really going like mad. It's dead easy to grow in a flowerpot, in fact it likes it as they want well-drained soil. Do you have a nice sunny place to put a flowerpot? It's really hardy as mine doesn't mind growing in the Pennine mountains so it shouldn't mind a nice flowerpot.

I'd love to have some of that bee lavender. I have a purple variety that is lovely. It grows very fast too. DH is threatening to pull out all my "weeds" in the front planter. Yeah but death warrant I'm sure.

I always cut my lavender back really hard! It's best for it. You get fabulous results.

Oh yucch! I can relate.

Oh yes. But there isn't really any room, and I cannot add more pots because of that. There's lots of room in the shade, but those lavender lovelies don't like shade.
