lavender as a gift

 

Giving Lavender as a gift

 

 

So Yesterday I gave Lavender to my violin teacher

 

It was a seedling that has now grown four centimetres

 

It was alone in a medium pot because I had separated it.

 

I had made a small paper  label which I had sellotaped it to a straw

 

The wee label announcing that it was a Lavender plant stuck beside it.

 

It was protected by a clear plastic cut-off  bottle which acted like a green-house.

 

Anyhow I had told about my lavender seedlings to the violin teacher

 

She thought it would be lovely to see how they are since  three weeks have past by

 

Three weeks sitting on the window-sill and now ready to face the world

 

This little lavender pot got a lot of attention before I  could give it away as a gift.

 

Amidst the ooohs and aaahs were the heart-breaking moment that many a girl

 

thought that the gift was for them and were jealous that the violin teacher got it.

 

Luckily more than thirty seedlings have become like a harem on the window-sill

 

So I can give them away to the pleasure of many an appreciative friend.

 

All is good as the sun peeps through the clouds this morning.

Lovely, Jack. I have been thinking about planting a planter full of lavender. When I was little, I thought it was too strong of a fragrance, but since I have aged, how I enjoy the smell. Best wishes to you.
