Lavander: Lavender was discovered in Persia and the Canary Islands, and brought to Provence during the Roman times. It was used to scent baths and to wash clothes. The name of the plant came from the use made of it, and is the expression of the close relationship between the fragrant, blue-tinged plant and the lovely lavandières, or washerwomen, laboring along the riverbanks..
