Interesting exchange above regarding the words lavender and lavoir - words are fascinating indeed.<br /><br />Too bad you missed the elephant's pee. Perhaps doing some research would have taught you that elephants only pee once a day or so ? I know nothing about that.

It normally has the top of a bottle fixed in the wall which acts as a spout, rather than the water just running out of the wall. <br /><br />Dave, the French word for fountain is fontaine. I think you mean the French word for 'washing place' is lavoir - and therefore could connect to lavender. That's interesting. Lavoir obviously connects up to laver (which means to wash). Words are fascinating, aren't they?Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059152467099868300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-19349514571819603632011-02-01T06:23:50.908+01:002011-02-01T06:23:50.908+01:00What a beautiful fountain and capture.What a beautiful fountain and capture.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03671691808322770184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-69571093848514295592011-02-01T06:23:43.922+01:002011-02-01T06:23:43.922+01:00Your post reminds me that I learned at a Lavender ...Your post reminds me that I learned at a Lavender Festival in the wine country of Sonoma, California that the Latin root word for lavender means "to wash" because the Romans used to add lavender to their laundry water to make their clothes smell better.
