Wikipedia
The lavenders (''Lavandula'') are a genus of 39 species of flowering plants in the mint family, ''Lamiaceae'', native to the Mediterranean region south to tropical Africa and to the southeast regions of India. The genus includes annuals, herbaceous plants, subshrubs, and small shrubs. The native range extends across the Canary Islands, North and East Africa, Southern Europe and the Mediterranean, Arabia and India. Because the cultivated forms are planted in gardens world-wide, they are occasionally found growing wild as garden escapees, well beyond their natural range. However, since lavender cross-pollinates easily, there are countless variations within the species. The color of its flowers has come to be called ''lavender''.

[edit] About Lavender
Lavender is an aromatic herb in the mint family. It is used in baking, drinks and even savory dishes. Lavender is extremely potent when fresh and should be used sparingly. Most often sold dried, lavender can be infused with water, cream or other substances to create a delicate floral flavor. Lavender blossoms are bright purple, but can range from blue to pink.
