pocket full of posies keeps the devil away

This is an ink sketch colored in Photoshop of a friend of mine.  He grows lavender and carries it in his pocket when he travels.  

Herb trivia: 
Lavender has been known to be a symbol of cleanliness, devotion, and purity.  Perhaps this interpretation is due to the fact that lavender oil has been shown to have antibacterial/fungal/viral qualities.  Also lavender has a sedative effect; so it may be a useful item to carry in ones pocket (aromatherapy to go)
