Lavender, by Ola Cedell

Lavender is famous for its beautiful color and distinctive scent. After its flowering at the beginning of summer, the entire flower is dried to provide a wonderful scent in wardrobes and bathrooms, but also as a flavor of ice cream, candy and salads. The oil extracted can be used both in laundry, scent and cleaning, and the smell is also common in soaps, perfumes and bath foam. Enjoy lavender in both food and rooms!
