Delicacy of the Butterfly Lavender

The bud, decorated with tiny dark purple flowers with a bright pink centre
to protect the folded wing-like garments of the
Butterfly Lavender

Unfolding petals in the sun

Stretching frilly petals in a shady spot

Kissed by the sun

Poised for flight


Butterflies
symbolize change and transformation.

The butterfly is symbolic of the soul and its freedom at the time of passing.

    Gorgeous photos of the lovely lavender, Sandra. The color palette is so pleasing and the DOF really emphasizes the delicate beauty of this flower. Your fifth one is just perfection! I love how it's reaching out. Here we call this variety Spanish lavender.

    This plant certainly has unusual form! My fav image is the fourth, for its cascading design and light.
    Happy weekend to you, Sandra!
