It’s rainy and muggy out and the pictures I tried to take of my lavendar didn’t turn out because the camera fogged up. But I’m convinced that, even though all four plants had the same label, I think they’re actually two different varieties. The one kind is kind of starting to bloom and the blooms appear to be white. I will try to get pictures later.
The thing about living out here that never fails to amaze me is how isolated you can feel out here when it rains. The hills seem to close in and the fog rises off it and it’s so quiet. And we’re not even tucked away in a real hollow.
It’s just funny to me to know that we’re surrounded by people and we’re right by a major American city and when it rains, we might as well be nowhere.

Oh wow, you could have Lavender Spike! Close kin to regular Lavender. Sometimes people mix up the seeds and you get both.
I love the “spike” –which has a more “medicinal” smell. You’ll notice the bloom looks like the little pod in the second remake of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHES, except they made the actual bloom red.
I am watching thinking, wait, that’s not scary, that’s LAVENDER SPIKE. Ohhh, but its RED! (The red was a good touch, suggesting blood.)
