Lavender Bunches in a Wicker Basket — Photo Postcard

A woven basket brims with freshly cut lavender stalks, their purple spikes stacked against sun-warmed straw — a close-up summer photograph that carries the scent of a French countryside field even through paper.

A fitting gift for lavender growers, dried-flower collectors, or anyone who slows down for the scent of July.

Tuck it into an envelope bound for someone who presses flowers between the pages of a book.
