Lovely Lavender

from World Book: Lavender is a small bush that bears fragrant flowers and leaves. It belongs to the mint family....Lavender comes from the Latin word lavo, meaning to wash. This name was used because the Romans put the leaves and flowers in the water when they bathed. In tradition, lavender represents purity.
