If they are lavender they should already smell like lavender if rubbed. Can you sacrifice one and see if it has a scent?

I just Googled Lavender seedling and found lots. Here's one.

Here is a link that might be useful: Lavender seedling

thanks, those are beautiful pics. Unfortunately, as my lavendar matures it is looking more and more like lettuce!
And I sowed it twice!
And I offered it as lavendar!
sigh
I really would prefer lavendar to lettuce, and I can not figure out how this happened...

thanks for the suggestion, I never thot of smelling it, I will try that.

Yes, lavender seedlings have needle-like leaves and should be very fragrant when slightly rubbed....if they are broad in any way, they are not lavender!
I'm sure the mistake will be forgiven :)

they turned out to be lettuce,
lots of lettuce! :)

Guess it does taste better than Lavender anyway!!

:)

altho-- have you ever had lavender ice cream?

I haven't, but have seen a recipe.

Yeah I guess if you like the taste of turnpenine lol!
No way Jose :)
