Geographical distribution

    : Originated from the Mediterranean coast, various parts of Europe and the Oceania archipelago, such as the small town of Provence in southern France. Later, it was widely planted in the United Kingdom and Yugoslavia, and now in Tennessee in the United States and Hokkaido in Japan.
    The northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang are located in the same latitude as Provence in France, and the climate and soil conditions are similar. It is one of the three largest lavender planting areas in the world and the hometown of lavender in the world. It has been listed as one of the eight famous varieties in the world. It likes dryness, the flowers are shaped like wheat ears, with slender stems, the flowers are covered with star-shaped fine hairs, and small purple-blue flowers are blooming at the ends. The narrow and long leaves are gray-green. The height of the mature plant can reach 90cm, and it usually blooms in June.

    Whenever the flowers bloom and the wind blows, the lavender fields are like layers of deep purple waves, which are very beautiful. The lavender planting area in Huocheng County, Yili has reached more than 30,000 mu, and the output of essential oils has reached more than 97% of the national output. The 30,000 mu of purple lavender in the Yili River Valley blooms from June 10 to July 20 every year.
    Lavender has a unique fragrance and is one of the most popular herbs in the world. It is known as the "peaceful perfume plant", "the king of spices" and "the queen of aromatic herbs". Lavender essential oil is known as the "oil of all oils" because of its wide range of uses. Lavender products are used in beauty, incense, food, medicine and other aspects. Dried flowers, essential oils, sachets, scented pillows, facial masks, lavender tea, etc. are very popular among tourists.
    In 2007, Beijing Zihai Xiangdi Art Manor began to plant lavender on a large scale, and the lavender planting area has developed to nearly 300 mu. In addition, in 2009, the Barbizon Miller Manor in Hangzhou, Zhejiang introduced Provence lavender species. At the end of 2010, the manor increased the planting of the same variety of lavender by nearly 200 mu. The most anticipated event is that in 2010, the Zhejiang Tanxiang Mountain 1,000-acre lavender sea was officially established in Dali Village, Shanchuan Township, Anji, Zhejiang, covering an area of ​​nearly 1,000 acres. In August 2011, the largest lavender estate, the Ziyan Lavender Estate, covering an area of ​​more than 5,000 acres, opened in Shenyang. It is hoped that in the summer of 2012, in the purple ocean of lavender, more people will be able to experience the beauty of Provence from the East.

    Most of the blue and purple lavenders are native to the Mediterranean region in southern Europe and the southern foothills of the Alps (including Provence).

:

[Native lavender] is also known as English lavender. It has the best quality and is mostly used to make high-end perfumes and spices. It has thinner leaves and shorter flower spikes
. [Long-spike lavender] is also known as mint lavender. It has wider leaves and longer flower stems and flower spikes.

No one can live here without being moved by

artificial cultivation and propagation methods     . There are four main methods for propagating lavender: sowing, cutting, layering, and root division. Cutting and sowing are mainly used. [ Seed propagation] Lavender seeds are small and suitable for seedlings and transplanting. The sowing period is generally selected in spring. Warm areas can be carried out from March to June or September to November each year. Cold areas are suitable for sowing from April to June.  May to October each year is the time when lavender blooms. It can also be sown in the greenhouse in winter. The germination days are about 14 to 21 days. Suitable temperature for germination: 18 to 24℃. Appropriate light is required after germination, and weak light is easy to grow. Because the seeds have a long dormancy period, they should be soaked for 12 hours before sowing, and then soaked with 20-50ppm gibberellin for 2 hours before sowing. Before sowing, level the land and water it thoroughly. After the water seeps in, sow the seeds evenly, then cover them with a layer of fine soil with a thickness of 0.2 cm, and cover them with grass or plastic film to retain moisture. Maintain 15-25℃, keep the seedbed moist, and the seedlings will emerge in about 10 days. If gibberellin is not used, it will take a month to germinate. It takes 1-3 months to germinate below 15℃. Pay attention to watering during the seedling stage. When the seedlings are too dense, thin them out appropriately. When the seedlings are about 10 cm tall, they can be transplanted. [Cutting propagation] Cuttings are generally carried out in spring and autumn. Cuttings of tender branches in summer are also acceptable. The medium for cuttings can be 2/3 coarse sand mixed with 1/3 peat moss. Select healthy and vigorous high-quality plants, select the top buds of annual semi-lignified branches with short and strong nodes and no heading, and cut the cuttings at 8-10 cm from the top. The incision of the cuttings should be close to the stem node, and strive to be smooth without breaking the phloem. Remove the leaves of the bottom 2 nodes, insert them into the soil after 2 hours of watering, and they will take root in about 2-3 weeks. You can also choose 8-10cm one-year-old branches. Under the conditions of good drainage, keeping moist, and 20-24℃ bed temperature, it will take about 40 days to take root. Do not use the terminal buds with inflorescence for cuttings, because the flowering branches are aging and will not root well, which will affect future growth. Mulch cuttings, prepare the land and make ridges. After watering thoroughly, cover the film and immediately cut cuttings. The depth is 5-8 cm, and the row spacing is 20-25 cm. Pay attention to raising the ground temperature and promoting root development; frequently prune the extension branches, remove the flower spikes in time, promote branching, and cultivate strong seedlings. The planting spacing is 60cm and the row spacing is 120cm. Water immediately after planting. [Division propagation] It can be carried out in spring and autumn. Use 3-4 year-old plants and divide them with old roots of mature plants in March-April in spring. Each branch has buds. Cultivation and management [Brief description]: It is a perennial shrub that can generally be used for about 10 years. It is a rough variety and easy to cultivate. It likes sunlight, is drought-resistant, extremely cold-resistant, barren-resistant, and salt-alkali-resistant. The cultivation site needs sufficient sunlight and good ventilation. The time required from sowing to flowering (or harvesting) is 18 to 20 weeks. Lavender is suitable for cultivation in large containers. However, in potted plants, ceramic pots or smaller plastic pots can be used to prevent excessive moisture. Large pots should not be used unless they have grown to a considerable size. Lavender cannot tolerate heat and humidity. If it is waterlogged for a long time, the roots will rot and die. When planting outdoors, be careful not to let rain directly fall on the plant. After May, it needs to be moved to a place where the sun cannot shine directly, and the degree of ventilation should be increased to reduce the ambient temperature and keep it cool so that it can safely survive the hot summer. Pay attention to sunlight, water, temperature, and patience. [Soil]: Suitable for slightly alkaline or neutral sandy soil. Special attention should be paid to choosing a medium with good drainage. You can use a mixture of 1/3 pearl stone, 1/3 vermiculite, and 1/3 peat moss. If it is cultivated in the open field, pay attention to the drainage of the soil. You can pile up the soil into a ridge before planting. [Watering]: Lavender does not like water to be retained at the roots. After a thorough watering, you should wait until the soil is dry before watering. The surface culture medium is dry, the inside is moist, and the leaves are slightly wilted. Watering should be done in the morning, away from the sun, and water should not be splashed on the leaves and flowers, otherwise they are easy to rot and breed pests and diseases. A continuously humid environment will cause the roots to not have enough air to breathe and grow poorly, or even suddenly die of the whole plant. This is often the reason for the failure of lavender cultivation. [Light]: Lavender is a full-sun plant, which requires sufficient sunlight and a suitable humid environment. It is better to be able to provide a full-sun environment. It can also grow in half-sun conditions, but the flowers are rare. In summer, at least 50% of the sunlight should be blocked, and ventilation should be increased to lower the ambient temperature. Although the growth will be weak, it will not die. Lavender can grow well on flat ground in winter and should be cultivated under full sunlight. [Temperature]: Lavender is semi-heat-resistant, cool, warm in winter and cool in summer. The suitable temperature for growth is 15-25℃, and it can grow at 5-30℃. Restricted temperature: above 35℃, if it is higher than 38-40℃ for a long time, the top stems and leaves will turn yellow. In the north, it will start to dormant when the temperature is below 0℃ for a long time in winter. During dormancy, the mature seedlings can withstand low temperatures of -20 to -25℃. [Fertilization]: For fertilization, bone meal can be placed in the pot soil as base fertilizer (once every three months). For seedlings, Huabao No. 2 (20--20--20) can be applied, and after mature plants, fertilizers with higher phosphorus fertilizers such as Huabao No. 3 (10-30-20) can be applied. Apply light fertilizer. Lavender should not be fertilized too much, otherwise the fragrance will fade. [Pruning]: Lavender flowers have the richest essential oil content. When using, the flowers or inflorescences are mainly used. For the convenience of harvesting, some small inflorescences in the early stage of cultivation may be flattened with large scissors. The height of the newly grown inflorescences is consistent, which is conducive to one-time harvesting. Some varieties can reach a height of 90 cm. This method is also used to make the plants low to promote more branches and flowering, and increase the harvest. Pruning must be carried out after flowering. The plants can be pruned to 2/3 of the original size. The plant shape will be stronger and conducive to growth. Pruning should be done in cool seasons such as spring and autumn. Generally, pruning is done in spring. Pruning in autumn will affect cold resistance. Be careful not to cut the lignified parts when pruning to avoid the weakening and death of the plants. [Disease]: When the annual seeding seedlings or cuttings are affected, the plants first wilt, lose water, and the leaves are dull. The tops of the leaves and branches bend downward and droop, which is most obvious during the budding period. Mild cases can recover at night, and severe cases die in two or three days. The roots rot and the stem ducts turn brown and shiny. In addition to the same pathological manifestations as in the seedling stage, the wilting symptoms of seedlings over three years old appear in the center or edge of the plant, gradually developing inward and outward, the branches wilt and die, and finally the whole plant dies. The degree of damage varies with the age and variety of the plant. It usually starts in May and reaches a peak in July and August. French lavender is severely affected, while the 2-417 variety of the former Soviet Union is less affected. Field management 1. Spring management     Newly planted seedlings and perennial seedlings should be dug up and planted at the end of May of the following year. Water when the temperature rises. Water the seedlings for rooting and old seedlings for greening. Loosen the soil one week after watering to maintain moisture and raise temperature. Apply 19 kg of urea, 15 kg of superphosphate, and 30 kg of oil residue to 667 square meters of old seedling fields, and apply deep turning between rows. This will play the role of fertilization, loosening the soil, maintaining moisture, and raising temperature, which is conducive to the greening and growth of lavender in spring. 2. Management of newly planted seedling plots from the growing period to the peak flowering period     : Water the newly planted seedling plots 4 to 5 times a year and weed and till the soil in time. The flower buds that appear before June 20 should be removed in time to promote the plant to grow more branches, laying the foundation for the formation of yield in the autumn of the current year and high yield in the next year. For the old seedling plots, there should be no weeds in the field. Water the buds in early May and water the flowering period in June. 3. Harvest in time:     When 30% of the flowers in the field have withered and 70% have bloomed, they can be harvested. Generally, 10 am on a sunny day is the best harvesting time. Leaves and debris should be removed during harvesting. The harvested flowers should be transported back to the workshop for processing in time. Those that cannot be processed in a short time should be placed in a pergola to cool down and keep the flowers fresh. Application value Application field     Lavandula angustifolia is the most commonly cultivated species in this genus. [7] Other species commonly planted for ornamental purposes include Spanish lavender, toothed lavender and fern-leaf lavender.     Lavender spikes can be used as dried flowers and ornaments. The lavender, fragrant flowers and buds can be used to make scented pots and sachets. The dried flowers can be sealed in a bag to make a sachet. Putting the sachet in the closet can make the clothes fragrant and prevent insects from eating. The commercial cultivation of lavender is mainly to obtain lavender flowers to extract lavender essential oil, which can be used as a fungicide and essential oil for aromatherapy. It also has significant therapeutic effects on the treatment of insomnia, colds, joint pain, etc. Spanish lavender (originally from the Mediterranean, was later introduced to Australia and became an invasive species throughout Australia.)

It is good for blood circulation and has the effect of repelling mosquitoes and flies.
    Lavender is also produced, but it is unknown whether it comes from the Mediterranean. Because its flower shape is like wheat ears and the inflorescence axis is sparsely covered with white short hairs, it is called "wheat bran grass" in rural areas. Its leaves are rough and short and rough on both sides. They are ovate or broadly ovate, 3 to 11 cm long and 1.5 to 7.5 cm wide, with a long and gradually pointed tip, a round or broadly wedge-shaped base, coarse serrations on the edges, and a petiole of 1 to 8 cm long.

    Whenever the wind blows, the lavender fields are like waves of deep purple, undulating in layers, which is very beautiful. In the Middle Ages, lavender was widely used by medical institutions in Western European society. At that time, the insecticidal and antibacterial effects of lavender were recognized. In the past, people usually put lavender sachets in the cupboard to repel insects. The Romans praised its antibacterial power and used lavender for bathing and cleaning wounds. In summer, applying its lotion to the whole body after bathing can also be used to resist mosquito bites.

When brewing alone, the concentration should not exceed twice; when brewing mixed, it is also appropriate to use a small amount. It is not advisable to use a metal cup when brewing tea, otherwise it will affect the effect.
    In addition to brewing lavender into tea, Europeans have long known that lavender has a stomach-strengthening function, so lavender is often added as a seasoning when cooking, or mixed with vinegar, wine, and jelly to add fragrance; the sauce made with lavender is particularly flavorful, and it is said that Queen Elizabeth I of England is a loyal fan of it.

●Introduction
    Lavender is called the "king of herbs", with a fresh and elegant fragrance and mild nature. It is recognized as the most sedative, soothing, and hypnotic plant. Relieve tension, calm the mind, calm the breath, heal wounds, and remove scars. Oil control, regeneration, anti-inflammatory, and repair.
    Lavender is a shrub native to the Mediterranean coast. It is now a common garden plant in Europe because of its practical value and environmental beautification function. When the flowers bloom, a sea of ​​purple flowers is formed. The lavender fields in Provence in southern France are particularly famous. There are many varieties of lavender, most of which have small blue-purple flowers, and there are also pink or white varieties. Lavender, also known as the "peaceful perfume plant", was used by the ancient Romans and Persians to make aromatic baths to eliminate fatigue and soreness, and to refresh the body. Its genus name comes from the Latin "Lavare", which means bathing and washing.
    In the Middle Ages, lavender was regarded as the embodiment of love, symbolizing purity and innocence. Its fresh smell and insect-proof properties led to its widespread cultivation. European women like to harvest lavender, dry it in small cloth bags, and put it close to their bodies when going out to prevent infection from external bacteria. On the battlefield, lavender oil is often used to disinfect wounds.
    Lavender is also often used as a beauty and anti-inflammatory product. For example, soaking fresh lavender in hot water to steam the face can cleanse the skin, fight inflammation and balance oil secretion; or boiling the juice to apply to knife wounds, lacerations, etc. can prevent infection and inflammation; if it is ground into a paste and applied to the skin where bees sting, it can play a mild anesthetic role to reduce swelling and pain. Made into sachets, it can replace mothballs and be placed in the cupboard for fragrance and insect repellent. Putting dried lavender flowers in hot water during bathing can warm the body and help sleep (making it into a scented pillow has the same effect).
    When the body is polluted by some kind of pollution or the body turns acidic, the most obvious symptoms are emotional tension and restlessness. For example, the beauty who eats snacks desperately at night and is lazy and does not want to move at the weekend is suffering from eating disorders caused by emotional tension. The strong smell of lavender can calm the nerves, relieve pain and calm the mind, and has a relieving effect on insomnia, headaches and restlessness.

[Lavender flower essence]
    The extraction methods of essential oils include distillation, cold pressing, fat-soluble extraction (also known as: flower essence, absolute, pure oil), supercritical extraction (carbon dioxide low-temperature extraction). Flower essence is directly extracted by soaking with pure natural oils. In terms of quality, flower essences or absolutes extracted by fat-soluble extraction are slightly lower than those extracted by distillation. Because some flowers will have a low oil yield at high temperatures and lose more ingredients through distillation, fat-soluble extraction is used, such as roses (dark yellow or brown) and jasmine (dark yellow or brown) on the market. The distilled roses are much more expensive than gold. Lavender essential oils are commonly circulated in the market, but the varieties and quality are different. There are very few lavender flower essences for sale because lavender planting, supply and oil yield are relatively high.

【For cleansing】
    Because lavender has the effects of inhibiting bacteria, balancing oil secretion, and soothing the skin, it can also be used in cleansing products. Lavender extract is added to soap and cleansing milk products. After cold sterilization and preservation treatment and the application of issofree advanced technology, high-end cleansing products such as lavender soap and cleansing milk are made.

The ornamental value

is in the lavender field, waiting for love
    lavender carefully. When the car drove into the Barbizon Miller Manor, an inadvertent turn of the head saw a whole piece of purple. I was stunned for a moment, and then screamed-lavender, so beautiful! The lavender in Provence can also be seen here.
    Going further, there is a racecourse, a small villa with a strong French style, and a whole piece of jungle. Living in a big house, you can release your emotions loudly in the lavender field. Sitting in a western restaurant to rest, looking out the window, the whole hill is full of plants. From time to time, little squirrels jump and fall by the window. This little thing is not afraid of people. Every girl would yearn for this kind of romantic life.

Feel the French atmosphere without leaving the country.
    Why is it called Barbizon? The owner of the manor said that Barbizon was originally a small village in the suburbs of France, where there are fertile land, large forests, gurgling water and various exotic flowers and plants. Barbizon is also the name of a landscape painting school in France in the 19th century

. Yi Xin Yuan?

    Lavender flowers are a single purple, and purple always reminds people of romance. Provence, a small town in southern France, is famous for its abundant lavender. Many people go there just to see the legendary lavender.
    The owner of the manor just wants to create a small town of Barbizon, so that everyone who comes in can feel the French atmosphere without going abroad, "so that people who come in can relax and breathe fresh air."
Today, the nearly 100 acres of lavender in the entire villa look particularly beautiful in the sun. Many people come here to take pictures. Miss Su from Shaoxing said: "I have always liked lavender, it is like a dream of mine. I couldn't go to France, but I didn't expect to fulfill my dream here. The fragrance of
lavender fills my sleeves
    . The fragrance of lavender is a kind of half-awake state in life, which is extremely faint and engraved in the heart.
    When this light blue-purple flower blooms, its fragrance can be smelled from ten miles away; and what's more wonderful is that even if you stand in a large flower field, the fragrance you smell is still faint and gentle, unlike other fragrant flowers that are eager to make people fall in love. When you walk leisurely among the flowers, a cold fragrance will remain on the corners of your clothes, which is as distant as the mood of first love. It is said that lavender is because Hence the name.
    The scent of lavender is neither as light as jasmine nor as melancholy as tuberose. It is just so peaceful, goes its own way, and does not care about other people's opinions. People who like it will like it very much, and people who don't like it will avoid it after smelling it once. Such a unique fragrance is always connected with a deeper and more distant melancholy. Melancholy, but not melancholy, like the faint moonlight after autumn, like longing across thousands of mountains and rivers.
    The love for the scent of lavender is a complex, a complex of attachment and nostalgia. Among the various aromas, it does not have the strong emotions of roses, nor is it as indifferent as lilies, but it can never be erased - it is the fragrance that remains in the heart after the wind has passed, the faint fragrance in the clear night. The moonlight, the music flowing from the violin, the old clothes turned out from the bottom of the cupboard; it is the peach blossoms in March when I was a teenager, even the color of the sunlight has begun to peel off, but the smile of the boy outside of love is still bright; it is also an unfinished dream, waking up with only the melancholy that cannot be dissolved...Or, rather than saying that lavender is a large piece of purple blooming in the field and the fragrance floating in the air, it is better to say that it is something in the memory.
    Lavender is almost a footnote to melancholy. People who like lavender must be people with very rich emotions and are attached to everything.
    Women who love lavender must have a special flavor of their own, so that you can recognize her in the crowd at a glance. Come: quiet, elegant, mature. Only women who have experienced love and life can truly understand and appreciate lavender.
    For men, the fragrance of lavender is like the curling skirt of a woman. White, purple, blue, pink, floating in the wind, either shyly or wildly, is the initial love for women, warm but not erotic.

Lavender complex
    memories are like lavender. The stories that happened here are like yesterday's smoke, distant and gentle, extremely faint, and engraved in the bottom of the heart... In

a trance, I realized that the language of lavender is waiting...

Cultural inheritance Cultural characteristics
    Lavender is also known as perfume plant, spiritual vanilla, vanilla, yellow vanilla, and lavender. It is native to the Mediterranean coast, various parts of Europe and the Oceania archipelago, such as the small town of Provence in southern France, and was later widely planted in the United Kingdom and Yugoslavia. Its leaf shape and flower color are elegant, and its blue-purple inflorescence is long and beautiful. It is a new perennial cold-resistant flower in the garden, suitable for planting in clusters or strips, and can also be potted for viewing. Historical Origin
In ancient Greece, lavender was called Nardus, sometimes referred to as Nard, which came from a city called Naarda in Syria.

    In ancient Rome, a pound of lavender could be sold for 100 denarii, which was about the same as a farm worker's monthly salary or the salary of a barber for cutting 50 people's hair. The Romans would put lavender and various herbs in the bath water, and they introduced this bathing method to Britain.
During the Black Death, workers who made gloves in Grasse, France, often soaked leather with lavender oil, and many workers escaped the plague. This story may be somewhat true, because the plague bacteria are transmitted by fleas, and lavender can repel fleas. Flower language

Symbol: Love and friendship Folk legend

    Purple and blue lavender is often inseparable from romantic love. When you and your lover are in the lavender field, the warm purple waves of nature are a kind of beautiful bewitching, as if time has stopped for you. Provence in France and Furano in Hokkaido, Japan are also forever beautiful for this reason, and are always the filming scenes of romantic movies. There are many love stories about lavender, but these stories are all related to the devil or the sacred. Lavender has been considered a kind of herb with divine power since ancient times. There is such a legend in medieval Europe: a beautiful village girl met a handsome gentleman with elegant manners while herding sheep. She had a tryst with him for several consecutive days and even agreed to elope with him. However, the day before they agreed to elope, the village girl suddenly became suspicious of the gentleman's identity, so she secretly took a handful of lavender with her. - It turned out that the gentleman was actually a terrifying devil in disguise! The devil was shocked and angry when he revealed his true form, but he was afraid of the sacred power of lavender, so he had to flee. This shows that lavender is not necessarily a good aphrodisiac!
    Lavender is a fragrant purple-blue flower. It is as romantic as the place where it is grown. This flower, which was born in Provence, France, has a beautiful love legend.

[Legend 1]
    In Provence, France, one of the hometowns of lavender, there is a love story about lavender...
    It is said that there was a girl in a village in Provence, who was picking buds of flowers alone in the cold mountains, but she met a traveler from afar who was injured. When the girl saw the young man, her heart was captured by his elegant smile!
    So the girl invited him to her home, and regardless of her family's opposition, she insisted on taking care of him until he recovered. After a few days, the young traveler's injury had recovered, but the love between the two spread rapidly and it was already inseparable.
One day not long after, the young traveler said goodbye to the girl and left, but the girl, who was in love, insisted on leaving with the young man. Although her relatives tried their best to keep her, she still insisted on going with the young man to his hometown full of roses!
    Just before the girl left, the old lady in the village gave her a bunch of lavender and asked her to use it to test the sincerity of the young traveler, because... It is said that the fragrance of lavender can make unclean things appear...
    Just as the traveler took her hand and prepared to travel far away, the girl threw the lavender hidden in her coat on the young man. Unexpectedly, the young man emitted a burst of purple smoke and then disappeared with the wind! The girl seemed to faintly hear the young man's hearty laughter in the valley, and just like that, the girl was left alone...
    Not long after, the girl disappeared. Some people think that she turned into light smoke and disappeared in the valley like the young man, while others say that she followed the scent of lavender to find the young man... In any case, the legendary story of lavender has been passed down. Therefore, until now, lavender is still considered by people to be one of the important tools for driving away unclean things and aromatherapy.

[Legend 2]
    These lavenders can be favored by the fashion group because they have many romantic and beautiful meanings. Lavender has great connotations and implies a correct attitude towards life. People have always regarded lavender as a symbol of purity, cleanliness, protection, gratitude and peace. Lavender also means "waiting for love".
    Legend has it that one day, the Virgin Mary hung the washed baby clothes of Jesus on lavender, and since then lavender has been given the meaning of symbolizing the taste of heaven. Some people also say that the Virgin Mary directly used water soaked in lavender to wash Jesus' baby clothes. Perhaps this is why people in the past liked to use lavender to wash clothes so much. But some people also say that the Virgin Mary once prayed to lavender, so lavender not only has a lasting fragrance, but also has the ability to drive away demons.
"Lavender represents true love" is the most representative lyric poem of the Elizabethan era. Therefore, it was popular for lovers at that time to give lavender to each other to express their love. During this period, Charles I of England was also a passionate man. When he was pursuing Nell Gwyn, he once gave a bag of dried lavender, tied with a golden ribbon, to his beloved.

    Provence is a poem of love. No one can live here without being moved.
  
    As for the folk custom, it is to use lavender to scent the bride's dress. In Ireland, the locals will tie lavender on the bridge to pray for good luck. It is said that putting a small bag of dried lavender on your body can help you find your dream lover.
When you are separated from your lover, you can hide a small sprig of lavender in your lover's book. When you meet next time, look at the color of lavender and smell the fragrance of lavender, and you will know how much your lover loves you.
    At the wedding, you can sprinkle lavender flowers, which can bring you a happy and perfect marriage.

[Legend 3]
    The flower language of lavender is waiting for love. There is such a touching legend: It is
    said that a long time ago, an angel fell in love with a mortal woman named Lavender. He left the first tear for her and his wings fell off for her. Although the angel had to endure severe pain every day, they were still very happy. But happiness was short-lived. The angel was captured and taken back to heaven. The happy time with Lavender was deleted. Before being banished to the mortal world, he shed another tear, which turned into a butterfly to accompany his most beloved girl. Lavender was still waiting for him to come back foolishly. Only the butterfly was with her. She waited day and night in the garden where the angel left. Finally, she turned into a small grass. Every year, it would bloom lavender flowers. They flew to various places, looking for the angel who was banished to the mortal world.
People called that plant "lavender".

[Legend 4]
    A long time ago, in a small village, there was a girl who often sat on the street, looking at the passers-by with a blank and innocent look, and said silently in her heart: "If there really is an angel, I hope he will make my hair the same as others." The girl had long purple hair. In such a village that was almost the size of a palm, this was destined to be a tragedy. The villagers thought she was the incarnation of the devil, because it was impossible for a person to have purple hair. Her mother loved her very much, but a very respected prophet in the village said that if her parents did not abandon her, disaster would soon befall the whole village. Her parents had no choice but to drive her out.
    Without support, the girl could only live on her own. But she was too weak to do rough work, and even if she wanted to, others were unwilling to ask her for help. Sometimes when she was hungry, she could only go to the forest to pick some fruits to fill her stomach. One day, she found white flowers all over the mountains far away from the village. The fragrance of the flowers was so fragrant that it could be smelled ten miles away; what was even more wonderful was that even if she stood in a large field of flowers, the fragrance she smelled was still elegant and gentle, not pungent at all. She had never seen this kind of flower before, and of course she didn't know that it was lavender. The villagers had never seen it before, but they loved flowers. So she picked a bunch of white lavender and went to the village to sell it. The fragrance of the flowers attracted many villagers, and they couldn't help but pay for it.
 
    From then on, the girl walked a long way every day to pick lavender to sell. There was a very poor child in the village who followed her all day. He liked the flowers and wanted to give them to his mother, but he had no money to buy them. The girl gave him a bunch every day. She also often helped those who needed help, such as washing clothes for a blind old lady and picking olives for a hunchbacked old man. But the people she helped were too low-ranking and their words had no weight, so despite her efforts and kindness, the villagers still could not accept her with purple hair. When they bought flowers, they either pretended to look elsewhere or hurriedly threw down a handful of money and took a bunch of flowers, as if staying with her for a while longer would bring bad luck.
    One day, the prophet's granddaughter insulted her and took away all her lavender. She ran to the forest and cried sadly. At this time, a very handsome boy came to comfort her. The girl was surprised and happy because no one had ever been so kind to her. But she soon found out that the boy was blind, which made her very sad. Such a good person could not see the beauty of the world. Compared to herself, she felt that the boy was more unfortunate. Although she was rejected by the villagers, she could at least see the lush forests, the clear streams, the silent mountains in the distance, and the snow-white lavender in her hands. So she gave him lavender every day and talked to him. Every day, the boy would hold the flowers she gave him the day before and wait for her at the place where they first met.
    One day, the girl looked at the flowers in the boy's hand and said, "These poor flowers are dead! They were so beautiful last night, but now their leaves have drooped and withered. Why are they like this?"
"Do you know what they did?" the boy said, "These flowers went to find you last night! They knew I couldn't see, so they volunteered to protect you for me. They go to see you almost every night and drive away the annoying mosquitoes and bedbugs for you."
"How could I not know? Why don't you let them wake me up?"
"Because you sleep so sweetly, they don't want to wake you up."
The girl's eyes were red. From then on, she made up her mind to restore the boy's eyesight, even if he would dislike her after seeing her. One evening, the girl sold all the lavender she picked that morning. In order to give the boy fresh lavender, she set out to the hillside again. But she was so tired that she fell asleep after reaching the hillside. When she fell asleep, she heard someone talking in her ear.
"She is so tired."
 
"Yes."
"Didn't she come here in the morning? Why is she here again now?"
"Don't you know? She wants to give these most beautiful and fragrant flowers to the boy in the forest..."
"I heard that the boy is blind..."
"It's because he is blind that he is so kind to our little girl..."
"Is there any way to make him see?"
"Of course there is! There is a spring in the forest. It is said that they are the tears of the god of love. The spring water can restore the sight of anyone's eyes. "
    Hearing this, the girl woke up all of a sudden. She opened her eyes, but saw no one. However, she was not afraid at all, because her heart was very calm. She knew that there must be a kind angel helping her in secret. She remembered every word she said in the dream. She picked a large bouquet of flowers and gave it to the boy, and told him that she was going to a very far place and would not be back for a few days... After going through untold hardships, the girl finally found the spring water. She carefully filled the bottle and hurried back excitedly. When she handed the spring water to the boy, she did not hesitate at all. She could see that the boy was very excited,
    and his joy comforted her. Just as he rubbed the spring water on his eyes, she quietly left. The spring water restored the boy's eyes to light. There was moonlight shining in from the branches around him. He saw this colorful world, the snow-white lavender at hand, and even many cute little elves playing happily. . But he didn't see his beloved girl. The girl left quietly. She didn't want the boy to see her appearance and her purple hair. The boy was very sad, but he couldn't find the girl. The little mountain elves rode on the leaves and dew on the long grass in pairs every day, but none of them could tell him where the girl was.
    One day, looking at the lavender that was gradually withering in his hand, the boy decided to go to the place where lavender was blooming to find the girl. He didn't know where that place was, but the wind brought the fragrance of lavender, which was like a gossamer. He followed the fragrance step by step. Before the sun set, he finally came to the field full of lavender. He saw the girl at first sight. The girl screamed and ran away. The boy chased after her and grabbed her. The girl cried and said, "I am a monster. We can't be together... Whoever is with me will be doomed." The boy hugged the girl and told her, "I don't care! I love you! "Just as the boy said this, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the sky, as if all the stars in the sky were falling towards them. As the light danced, the color of the girl's hair turned into a light mist, which penetrated all the lavender petals. The girl's hair gradually turned golden, dazzling, and the pure white lavender turned into a purple ocean... Since then, lavender has always been purple. People say that the color of this flower is the color of love..."

[Legend 5]
    There are many love stories about lavender, but these stories are all related to the devil or the sacred. It may be that lavender has been regarded as a kind of herb with divine power since ancient times.

There was such a legend in medieval Europe:
    A beautiful village girl met a handsome gentleman with elegant manners, dated him for several consecutive days, and even agreed to elope with him.
    However, the day before they agreed to elope, the village girl suddenly became suspicious of the gentleman's identity, so she secretly brought a handful of lavender with her.
    The next day, when the gentleman was about to take her away, the village girl secretly took out a bouquet of lavender and threw it at her lover. As a result, she found that the gentleman was actually a terrible devil in disguise! The devil was shocked and angry, but he was afraid of the sacred power of lavender. He had to flee. This shows that lavender is not necessarily an aphrodisiac!

[Legend 6]
When the blue star met the purple angel, they fell in love.
    God always likes to play jokes again and again. Stars and angels will never meet, let alone know each other. They should only be like two parallel straight lines, never intersecting, or getting farther and farther away. But the star happened to meet the angel, or the angel met the star. This is a fact.
The star is ordinary, one of thousands of stars. The difference is that she shines with light blue light, so she has her own characteristics of existence. Angels are God's favorites, with lavender wings and lavender halos.
    Once by chance, the angel passed by Xingxing. The light blue attracted him. He flapped his purple wings and said softly, "You are so beautiful. The blue is so beautiful!" From then on, the angel often went to Xingxing. In fact, the angel did not really like Xingxing, but only because of her mysterious light blue.
    Perhaps Xingxing did not expect that the angel would get tired of the blue one day. Xingxing was addicted to the purple light. She happily thought that she had all the happiness in the world and that she was the happiest person.
    As time went by, the angel came to see Xingxing less and less often. Xingxing comforted herself: "It doesn't matter, the angel must be too busy, it must be!"
Finally, Xingxing couldn't stand the loneliness and decided to find the angel. Xingxing deviated from her own track, traveled through mountains and rivers, and finally found the angel. The angel said to her: "It is impossible for us to be together. I am an angel, and you are just a star. I found a real angel, a kind and beautiful angel. She is the one I really want to find in this life!" After that, she opened her purple wings and flew away. A purple feather fell from the dark sky. It was the angel's feather. Xingxing picked it up and looked at the feather in despair. Tears poured out like a flood. She was very sad. She never thought that the lover she had been thinking about would actually abandon her and leave. She cried bitterly, and the tears she dropped turned into a meteor shower, a blue meteor shower! How spectacular!
    She continued to cry until the moment she ran out of strength, she kept saying the same thing: "I will wait for you to come back!"
    Finally, she exhausted her last bit of strength, leaned on the stone and slowly fell asleep, never waking up again, still holding the angel's feather in her hand.
The next day, a lot of purple grass grew around her, like the color of angel wings. People said it was lavender, and the flower language was waiting for love...
    Many years later, one day, the angel found that the person he liked was not another angel, but the stars, because for some reason, the stars had entered his heart deeply! He wanted to forget but couldn't, the angel began to miss that touch of light blue. He decided to go find her, but he couldn't find her, of course he couldn't find her!
    He came to a piece of grass, where there were a lot of purple grass, the color was very similar to the color of his wings, he lay down gently, a gust of wind blew, there was a faint fragrance, the angel felt that the stars were around him, but he was too tired to open his eyes, in the haze, he heard the stars calling softly: "You are here, you are finally here, the love I have been waiting for is finally back!" The angel stretched out his hand but couldn't catch anything, maybe this is a feeling, but it is so real. In the haze, he saw the star emitting a faint blue light coming towards him. The star held his hand and slowly disappeared in the mist.
    The next morning, a lumberjack passed by and found the purple angel. The angel had stopped breathing. There was a happy smile on his face, as if he was in a dream. In his hand, he tightly grasped the purple lavender, as if he would never let go.
    A light breeze blew by, emitting a faint fragrance, and the sound of the leaves rubbing against each other seemed to be telling a story.
