Many of the roses are a light pink or light yellow and the bluish purples of the lavender and Salvia compliment the roses quite nicely.<\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>I especially love lavender. It doesn&#8217;t have much scent unless you walk up to it and disturb the plant or purposely crush some of the leaves in your hand, but once you do the scent fills the air for a while.  Usually your hand has the scent on it was well.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t done this for a few years, but this year I think I&#8217;ll gather some of the lavender blooms and dry them to make my own potpourri. Have you made your own potpourri with flowers from your garden?<\/p>\n<p>BTW<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry I missed last weeks GTS.  My sites were down for three and a half days! It was terrible.
