It is now July and it is summer term in Japan and from July to August, University of Tsukuba is having it's summer vacation. That is only true for undergraduate student. As for me, I can not afford a vacation until I feel that there is less work for my degree . But let me take a rest "in between" the works. I have just finished an essay in Random Fuzzy Variables.
As I was parking my bicycle in the university's campus, I came across the scent which I was so familiar with back home, the scent of lavender. Omoshiroi ! lavender plants are just a metre away.
It seems that the purple plants blossom during summer and I saw lots of them in a few separate locations in the university. And there are bees harmlessly surrounding the lavender plants. I wonder why the bees concentrate most on lavender plant, whereas there are a lot of other plants spotted nearby. Maybe, it's scent does not only attract human but also affectively "seduced" the bees. Well, this gives an impression that there is sort of honey call "lavender honey".
I have attached a picture of lavender in this post since a picture tells a thousand words which I myself may unable to describe.
Since lavender blossoms in summer and Malaysia is always in summer the whole year round, it gives me the second impression - lavender can be planted in Malaysia. An idea prop-up - "Buy lavender seeds and plant it in Malaysia". If it is suffessful, then I dont have to buy anymore air freshener for my car and my room. Not only, it is nice to smell, it has decorative attributes.
By the way, in my self-made frugal initiative, I am already a small part-time planter in Japan - if you visit me in Japan you can have some freshly picked chillies and tomatoes. Next, on my list is broccoli.
