        Lavender can be a rather dull plant to photograph.
        I reckon you need a significant clump or two and ideally warm sunlight to enhance the colour.

                  @AndyD significant clumps, I have. 馃槈 When they finish blooming I'm going to prune them severely as I have never done that and they are monstrous and leggy.

                    There are lots of videos on pruning lavender. I kinda like this one:

                          @rustyfingers Yea, I never knew they needed regular pruning to keep them in top form. I just have a couple of them in pots and am trying to follow her instructions. They鈥檙e doing pretty well.

                                  We repainted our bridge and put new slats on it; the old ones had rotted away. It had been between two pines that are at the back of the yard but they got quite large and were overgrowing the bridge. We set it here for now while we figure out its final location.

                                  The birds like to perch on it when they come to visit the bird bath. I might just dig out a few of the plants in that bed and move the bridge in a bit. I had stepping stones in there for access to the interior of the bed. I may just use the bridge as part of that path!
