Lavender flowers appear from June to September, but stay in bloom a little longer with one species, (L. latifalia). They are small, baby-blue in color:, strong-smelling, and culminate in spikes at the end of long stalks. One species in particular (L.. angustifolia) has the finer odor. However, the flowers of all lavender species yield a highly perfumed, colorless, volatile oil that contains linalyle acetate and an hydroxycoumarin |
