"Lavandula" derivative of "lavare"= to wash
"Angustifolia"= spiky leaves
I love the smell of lavendar, it has something soothing in it that makes me believe in the healing properties spoken of by those involved in herbal lore.
I have a pot garden with one lavendar plant growing in it. Some of my neighbors have lavendar growing in their flowerbeds near the sidewalk and I love to go past when I am out walking and breathe in that scent. I think I would like to live in a field of lavendar, or at least have it growing by every window of my house so I could smell it all the time. For me, it beats out any perfume on the market.
