TALKING FLOWERS
Lavender, Lavender, Lavender.
Need to relax? Or get a good night's sleep?
You need cleansing, calming lavender in your life.
Lavandula angustifolia: English Lavender for cooking |
Lavenders are a fabulous, long-lasting cut flower and you can dry them to use in sachets and pot pourri. And by the way, lavender is a great insect repellent.
Lavender is a favourite, whose flowers range from white to deep blue purple and include pink.
You can cook with Lavender flowers but you must use Lavandula angustifolia or English lavender flowers.
The other varieties have too much camphor and will make food taste a little bitter.
Use your Lavender spice flowers in cakes, biscuits, pasta and salads.
