Lavender

This is the spring 2012 harvest of lavender blossoms. The lavender bush in our backyard grew from seeds and is now 4 or 5 years old. It provides me enough leaves and flowers to make tea (very fragrant), herbes de provence (great for pizza crust), and shortbread (the best) for two throughout a year.
