Lavender field in Gignac, France. Strictly speaking, this is a lavandin field. Lavandin is a hybrid lavender from a cross between the spirea lavender (Lavandula latifolia) and the true lavender (Lavandula angustifolia). This hybrid was not created by man, but accidentally by insect pollination, and was first discovered in 1930. Lavandin is more productive and therefore gradually displaces the true lavender from cultivation
