Lavender Bundles

Even after three weeks back in California I am still readjusting to some local botanical wonders which I previously took for granted, such as rosemary or jade plant hedges, neglected oleanders flourishing along highways, pruned manzanita branches laying in piles to be chipped into mulch, and extensive use of lavender in all sorts of landscaping applications.

 

Not surprisingly, there are already so many vendors selling these hardy, fragrant beauties at extremely reasonable prices as to make my doing so redundant. But that doesn't stop me from bundling up some from our garden for home use. Yum!
