It is lavender harvest time in the Mid-Atlantic.  The flowers are just beginning to open  but have not been open so long they have lost all the fragrance. 
I am not the only one in my backyard interested in these though. 
I have to harvest at dawn and dusk to best avoid the bumblebees and other
bees that are competing with me for these flowers. 
I do not harvest all the flowers from the plant. 
This is to both provide some color and fragrance left in the garden and
provide food for my pollinators. 
This is a sample of what I have harvested this week.
 In total I have about three to  four times this amount. I rinse and hang them to dry.  After they are dry I put the flowers in small organza bags.   These bags work great in closets, drawers, and for gifts to other people.  The bags are not very
expensive.  I buy them by the pack at craft stores. I just stuff the dried flowers into the bags and tie them.
