For Sonya’s Three Line Tales photo prompt.
The lavender fields stretch silent and scentless, their parallel banks of gaudy colour disappearing from sight over the hills.
We still marvel at the glorious (unnatural) colour, but the unmistakable scent is a faded memory, the sound of bees relegated to audio histories,
and we never talk about what the lavender harvest feeds.

Fantastic, Jane! Looks like brain sharing with Sally, from smorgasbordinvitation.wordpress.com. At her first posting today she mentioned lavender very good for health. Michael
I’ll have to look. Lavender has lots of properties, and the smell is gorgeous, usually 🙂
Thats the term”usually”. Lol One of my grandmothers used against moths too. The smell was in her clothes, and i had it in my mind for years. 😉
It’s a smell often associated with grandmothers.
So true. Lol But as i had read at Sally’s blog a very useful herb. I will try to use (sometimes). 😉
If for nothing else, it gives linen a good smell, and it might help to keep moths away.
Indeed.
A scent to die for.
No doubt.
Cool hat-tip to The Beatles in the title. I know little about lavender except it’s purple–an enticing kind–and is good for making people calmer. The prophecy of having it all gone in the future (“a faded memory, the sound of bees relegated to audio histories”) speaks too truly to our current practices.
Thank you. Lavender as a garden plant is lovely but I can’t go into raptures over the massive fields of it as an industrial crop.
That seems to be where our genetic engineering is headed…(k)
If we can bypass pollination, why bother with the bees?
A taste or should I say smell of the future 💜
It’s on its way…
Yes I agree 💜
