Smell (and look at) the lavender

Lavender (Lavandula) is a wonderfully aromatic plant.  According to Wikipedia the lavenders are a genus of 39 species of flowering mints found worldwide.  Not only do the smell good, but the flower spikes are rather attractive.

Each of the little purple shapes is a bud for the flower, which is kind of neat closeup.  Below is a side-by-side  stereo of the flowers.

If you can't uncross your eyes for the above, here is the red/green anaglyph (not nearly as good as the side by side!).
