Hi Kate! Yes! Its Latin name is "Lavandula stoechas" 'Anouk' and is also known as Spanish lavender. They are in pots on the edge of the porch railing right now, but if they get too much to handle I will transplant them to a sunny spot in the yard someplace. Our soil is so rocky here, it's not the best move to make. [Huge pots might be better.]
Their scent is awesome! It's supposed to attract butterflies and bees, but it is still too cold for them. We're waiting for temps to get out of the 30s-50s range. This is spring, right? LOL My little porch birds like them, too!
I'm glad you enjoyed the photo & feel free to use it [size to fit your screen as necessary] for wallpaper. I'm also glad you liked the quote, too. Thanks a bunch for visiting & for your comment! :D
Glad you stopped by! You'll find a bit of everything here -- frequent posts of life at the Ranch, once in a while an original short story, some poetry, the latest information about our store, interesting links to a great variety of blogs, what we're into right now in the books, music and movie department, and more. We also have a cool online Sudoku game, daily financial advice, daily literary quote, a new piece of art each day, and as we find cool things to add -- more. So kick back with a steaming mug of espresso, a plate of just-out-of-the-oven cookies and spend some time at Sunflower Ranch, nestled in the quiet, forested shadow of Mt. Rainier. Enjoy your visit! You'll always be welcome! Be sure to leave a comment and let us know you've been here. And you're invited to become a Sunflower Ranch Follower, too! You can also email Sunflower Ranch.
