Flower of the Month: Lavender
Check these twigs of lavender closely and you'll almost feel their scent.

The July flower, part of the Anthea collection of monthly flowers, also comes with an extra blank chart and cross stitch alphabet, so you can stitch any words of you own - particularly handy for decorative room plaques in your home.
