In a village, there was a girl named Xunyi. Her family was poor and her parents died early. Only she and her grandmother depended on each other. Soon, grandma got sick.

After the man left, fumigant was waiting for him in the lavender field until he died, and the man did not come back & hellip; & hellip; Finally, lavender became a purple lavender. In order to commemorate the spirit of lavender waiting for love, people regard "waiting for love" as the flower language of lavender.
This flower represents love and commitment as soon as it appears. It is like a flower language waiting. We wait because we don't know what we want. Or the person in life hasn't appeared yet.

Yili lavender is open for at least two seasons a year. The first season is from the end of May to the middle of June and harvested once at the end of June; the second season is from the end of July to August, and harvested again at the end of September.
In the 1960s, the Corps introduced lavender to Huocheng. Today, Huocheng has become the Oriental Provence, accounting for 95% of the national Lavender planting area and lavender essential oil production, and has become the largest Lavender planting base in China.
Local farmers grow lavender with attractive profits, but planting is not easy. In the first year, the planting density of lavender is about 50 cm. In the process of planting, lavender has high requirements on water and fertilizer, and everything is fine and flexible.
When it comes to the blooming season, lavender oil is cut out from the first season flowers in mid June, and the flowers of the second season are not harvested until the end of July and the beginning of August to make a series of dried flowers.
If you want to cut flowers to produce essential oil, you must take a stem of 10 cm. If you just cut flowers to make dry flowers, you only need to take 3 cm to 5 cm of stem. It seems that the charm of lavender, to make Lavender series products, the effort is much higher than ordinary crops.
