Current obsession: Lavender

I have a large amount of lavender in my herb kit, so I thought I would look into the various ways that it was used in the medieval world, specifically in Spain.  So far I have been delighted, not so much, to find that the many different kinds of lavender have not always been used properly throughout history.  For example, English lavender to one person many be referred to as French lavender by another.  Needless to say, this has made research a little confusing, as it is never clear, even with the Latin names, which also got switched around, which lavender was used.  Aside for that, I am learning that lavender had a bunch of uses outside of culinary, which was all I knew going into this.

More notes to follow.
