Lamb's Ear





Lamb's Ear (Stachys byzantina):
 native to Turkey, Armenia and Iran
- soft leaves with purple flowers- beautiful before, during and after bloom
- morning dew settles on the plant, glowing in the sunrise of morning



These are some pictures from my own garden. Jason and I find these very beautiful to look at and they just make you smile when you touch the leaves. It is a softness that when found in nature on something expected to be smooth and silky turns soft and fuzzy. It is a surprise that is warm and soothing under the touch of one's hands. Cheers.
