        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.
