El bosque silencioso 
hi antonio, is this some kind of lavendula?
have a not too hot day 🙂
No. They are two different plant genera. The scientific or Latin name of «lavanda», «espliego» or «alhucema» (in Spanish it is called by these three names) is «Lavandula vera», from the family of Labiatae. Long used in gardening for its blue flowers and for its good smell.
A variety of lavender is «cantueso» (Lavandula stoechas), common in the mountains of Andalusia. I leave a link: https://elbosquesilencioso.com/2012/03/21/cantuesos-ii/
The thyme belongs to the genus «Thymus», from the family of Labiatae too. Its scientific name is «Thymus vulgaris». It smells good, it is used in cooking. Its flowers have not the shape of an ear, like the flowers of lavender.
We had days of unbearable heat. But now the summer is being good and we are enjoying these long sunny days. I hope you do too. Greetings.
