Lavender flowers make for pleasing borders within a landscape design. The attraction in growing lavender, however, doesn't end there, since lavender flowers are aromatic and can be harvested and dried for indoor use. But to maximize aroma, you have to harvest lavender flowers at the right time; use these pictures as a guide. The pictures appear on a site that made Time.com's list of 50 Coolest Websites. I found that list only because I had navigated to Time.com from a Lifehacker entry by About.com's own Wendy Boswell. Oh, the wonders of the Web!
