What's happening with my lavender

Partial harvest of lavender

This is a photo of how much I cut back the blooms when harvesting. As you can seen in the previous photo, I cut them down to maintain a rounded shape. I learned in Hawaii that this prevents the plants from becoming woody. My hope in the experiment is to see if the plants bloom again this summer. We've had a tremendous amount of rain this spring, and my hopes are that will extent the blooming season.
