Lovely lavender

I have finally found a lavender cultivar (𝐿𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑎 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑎 ‘𝑃ℎ𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑎𝑙’) that takes the abuse of our Winters and snow plows. It sits perky and bushy next to a line of daffodils (𝑁𝑎𝑟𝑐𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑢𝑠 ‘𝐾𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐴𝑙𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑑’ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ‘𝐼𝑐𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑠’) along the fence that protects one of our gardens from marauding deer, rabbits, woodchucks and other creatures that would feast on my vegetables and fruits. Grabbing one of its fragrant stems, its scent is thick and comforting. Another sign that Spring is here.
