Lavender is a beautiful purple flower that grows on a small bush with silvery-green leaves. It is very famous for its wonderful, sweet smell that helps people feel relaxed and sleepy. The name “lavender” actually comes from a word that means “to wash.”
Lavender has tiny purple flowers that grow on tall stems above silvery-green leaves. If you rub the tiny flowers between your fingers, the smell gets even stronger because you are squeezing out the special oils inside! Some lavender fields are so big and purple that they look like a giant purple carpet spread across the ground.
