Although I don't believe this plant above is a lavender it was among
hundreds of other flowers.. The whole place run by a woman named Mary was so picturesque, bumble bees and hummingbirds throughout.
Two Nubian goats, 20 beautiful hens and metal art (Jerry, take note) throughout the garden . And besides that, Mary makes all her own lavender products which she sells inside an adorable quaint white-washed building. I could be happy sleeping in there. !!
In summer her sunflowers reach for the sky.
I snapped some photos so here they are.. I could have spent hours there.. She was very knowledgeable and fun to talk to.
I just wonder if she realizes she has the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
What a lovely day.
A flower that looks like a Christmas decoration !

Yeah, but no bamboo! I am welding Barbra, keeping busy and out of trouble! Next week it is supposed to be 80 degrees! You will only think of Oregon as full of rain!
