Lavender blue, dilly dilly

John pruned this bush with his hedge cutter and the flowers all came up new and at the same time. I shot this from the window - trying to blur the background but didn't succeed. However the colour of the lavender was sharp.
Brilliant colour and obviously appreciated the clipping.

@thistle This plant likes rough treatment, Joyce - it always comes back!

I love Lavender specially next to pink roses.......I do think lavender needs cutting back, it gets very woody otherwise. Beautiful colour.

@happypat - i absolutely love lavender with pale pink roses. the smell is beautiful!

maggie, do you dry your lavender and make potpourri? a long time ago, i'd make little pouches and put dried lavender flowers to put in hangers or stitch them on throw pillows. i think i'm going to plant them again this year. i let mine die last year but maybe tbey'll come back. very nice capture.
