The mint family, also known as Lamiaceae, is a diverse group of plants that includes various species with unique characteristics and stunning blooms. One member of this family is Phlomis fruticosa, commonly referred to as Jerusalem Sage. This densely branched shrub boasts vibrant yellow flowers that add a pop of color to any garden. Another well-known member of the mint family is Salvia officinalis, or Common Sage plant. This aromatic herb has been used for centuries in cooking and herbal remedies due to its distinct flavor and medicinal properties. In July 2014, Somerset Lavender in Frome, Somerset, UK showcased the beauty of Lavender (Lavandula) fields. The sight was truly mesmerizing as endless rows of lavender stretched out before your eyes. Honeybees (Apis melifera) were drawn to these fragrant blossoms, creating a buzzing symphony amidst the purple hues. Butterflies are also frequent visitors to lavender fields. The Large white butterfly (Pieris brassicae) can be seen delicately feeding on lavender flowers in gardens across England during summer months. The Valensole Plateau in Alpes Haute Provence offers breathtaking views of Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) fields that seem to stretch beyond imagination. A sea of purple blankets the landscape and fills the air with an intoxicating aroma. Rosmarinus Officinalis, depicted in a colour engraving from A Curious Herbal dating back to 1782 showcases another member of the mint family - Rosemary. Known for its culinary uses and aromatic fragrance, rosemary adds both flavor and charm to any dish or garden setting. Salvia plants are renowned for their ornamental value too. A photogravure from 1929 captures their intricate beauty through detailed imagery that highlights their unique floral structure and vibrant colors.
