We are planning on attending his lavender festival on
June 16th.
On the way home we stopped at another lavender farm in Kansas.
Just north of Topeka we found
Kansas Lavender.
Seeing a Sulphur-tipped Clubtail Dragonfly
in the lavender made me gasp.
Lavender is the perfect perch.
Plus this dragon has a tasty mosquito!
A White-Lined Sphinx Moth,
Great Spangled Fritillaries and
Maybe I can figure out a way to have a mini lavender farm

Good Morning Sherry,
Lavender is one of the most wildlife friendly plants there is.
Sadly in my wet garden they just do not work. I do keep some in pots but they tend to get tired very quickly :(
I have accepted I cannot have them here.
I do so hope your dream turns to reality and you have a mini lavender farm in your garden.
Wonderful tonic to see the bugs on the lavender......tku for sharing your day with us :)
Such a gorgeous post!
Lavender jam sounds amazing ♥
