Little fuzzy butts working hard. Nice crop of lavender, the oil is best after they've moved on and the blossoms are drier. I still have three pints of oil from last year but it seems a shame to waste it. Still have some blackberries in my freezer too.

Lavender oil is supposed to be really good for insomnia. Do you have any insomniac friends?

Peps me up a little if anything, we use it for massages. I don't eat much, it's good for frying french toast and I'm thinking of trying it in banana bread.

What do you use as a base for the oil? Or are you pressing it? I'm curious.

Also great Photo!

I use a goodly amount of olive oil, crush the blooms with a mortar and pestle, steep it for a few days and put it through a coffee filter. If you use the oil several times with fresh flowers it gets more intense every time.

@Buttercup Makes perfect sense! Thank you.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
