Beautiful! I always wanted to grow lavender, but never could succeed. Honeysuckle & roses! that’s my favorite. The two together (when I was a kid, that’s what we had growing by the porch).

Lavender and roses – my two favorite scents. In my china cabinet are bowls full of rose petals and lavender leaves from years of bouquets and flowers from my garden. The innards of the cabinet? Smell like honey. I love it!

Lilac….yes, it’s lilac. Hands down, lilac. Which is, by the way, the only thing I miss about Chicago, well, Uno’s pizza and jay’s potatoe chips.

I have sooooo many favorites…jasmine, gardenia, freshly mowed alflafa, the smell of earth after a rain, the ocean, Banana Boat sun tan lotion, clean laundry, cilantro, puppy breath, pine forest, cedar, magnolias, and yes, lavendar. If only I could bottle them up…

I love lavender. I have a large tub of it growing near the gazebo where I do my work & reading. It’s a tough life, but someone has got to live it! I also enjoy the fragrant lemon balm when it is crushed, or mowed in my garden. Even my son commented on how good it smells while he mowed down a path of weeds (and lemon balm) for me.

Lovely photo! I love the smell of a pine forest in the summer, when the heat is helping release the scent of sap from the trees.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

I adore your pic, and lavender as well!! My favorite scent (besides the scent of a freshly made martini) is probably the smell of liquid downy – when my clothes have just been washed and I am folding them. I love the smell of fresh linen. huh.

Actually, lavender is my favorite! I had 6 large plants beside my back patio. Alas, thay have all died off, one by one. I’ve not found any to replace them yet.

I love lavender too! And peppermint. And the scent of newly mowed grass. And vanilla. And cinnamon.

Oh, and lilacs…I love lilacs’ aroma.

And I love the scent of lavender but for some reason it give me a splitting headache. Pooh! :sad:
