Hi Luis, this isn't a lavender plant - it's an Echium. They are beautiful plants and grow bigger than Lavenders, whose flower heads are no where as large as the Echiums.
It is a lovely shot of the flowers, and the butterflies love them
Thank you for sharing
Janice

Lovely composition....

i think the butterfly is way too small to be the main focus here; the plants occupy most of the frame. hardly any details can be enjoyed from the butterfly. my 0.02.
