The lavender gardens at Buckfast Abbey, Devon. They used to keep the National Lavender Collection - at least 3 specimens each of 170 varieties - but they had to give this up due to the high level of work involved.
Thank you for visiting and thanks for your clicks and comments on Shadowland .... with an especial thank you to Chris_L for his GEA, which really made my day

Steve.
It really does look beautiful doesn't it? Seen lots of lavender lately - both on here and outdoors. A wonderful capture, Theresa, just makes me want to go sit on that seat! 
Trev
Well captured, a beautiful sight,and not too far from home for me
Mike
A sea of purple - just lovely, and I can smell them. I tried lavender here, but I think it just got too hot for them, and yes, they were a bit of work.
Anne
Thank you Anne and Shell.

Anne you should definitely try again - lavender is a mediterranean herb and thrives in a hot, dusty environment. The one thing it doesn't like is care and attention!!! So don't give it an enriched soil, don't feed it and don't overwater it - it will reward you if you neglect it .
Theresa
Wonderful display of lavender, beautifully composed and captured.
Hugh
How wonderful to see so many different shades of lavender
