    REPORT TEXT FLOWER

    LAVENDER

    -Habitat:
    Lavender loves full sun (at least 8 hours per day or more). Lavender's native habitat is the
    area around the Mediterranean Sea which has dry, chalky/rocky ground, so it thrives on hot,
    dry, rocky, or sandy soil

    -Part of Flower:
    Lavender plants are comprised of a root system, stalks, leaves and a flower head
    -Foliage:
    Lavender leaf shape is diverse across the genus. The gray-green leaves are simple, narrow,
    and elongated in most cultivated species, although some have broader, toothed or serrated
    leaves. They are covered in tiny, star-shaped hairs called trichomes

    -Characteristic:
    Lavenders are small evergreen shrubs with gray-green hoary linear leaves. The purple
    flowers are sparsely arranged on spikes at the tips of long bare stalks and produce small nutlet
    fruits

    -Classification:
    The genus Lavandula belongs to the family of plants known as Lamiacae (which means
    “lipped” and refers to the lip-shaped flowers) and consists of about 39 species native to the
    Atlantic Islands, India, the Mediterranean region, Middle East, North Africa and West Africa
    -Flower:
    Lavender is an herbaceous perennial, which means it has evergreen or semi-evergreen foliage
    that dies back to the ground in the winter and resprouts in the spring. It is often pruned to
    look like a mound-shaped shrub that can blend seamlessly with other ornamental plants like
    rosemary and rhododendrons

    -Information about Lavender:


    Lavender is a type of plant found on almost all continents. It has a purplish colour. It has
    colour named after it, called lavendar. Its Latin and scientific name is Lavandula.
    Lavenders are very popular among gardeners. Sometimes their petals are dried and sealed in
    pouches for good scent, and sometimes put inside clothes to prevent moths, who can damage
    the clothes.
    Lavenders are also used in cake decorating, because the flowers can become candied.
    Sometimes they are used in flavoring baked goods and chocolate desserts, and sometimes
    they use it to make a very delicious "lavender
    sugar". Lavender flowers are also used to make tea. The French make lavender syrup, which
    is used to make lavender scones and lavender marshmallows.
    Lavenders are sometimes put in medicine, too, and sometimes to prevent infection - such as
    lavender oil, that was used in World War 1 to disinfect walls and floors of the hospital. As the
    folk wisdom says, lavender oil is also helpful to headaches when rubbed on your temple, and
    lavender tea helps you relax before bed time. Lavender also is very helpful when applied to
    insect bites.
    Sometimes, dried petals of lavender are used to throw confetti at a wedding
