 Sheryl 
I am afraid Lavender "Lady" without any other identification is not
enough for me to know what plant you are talking about. At first I
though you were describing a variety of Lavender, but "standard" and
"wings" sound like some sort of pea presumably called Lavender Lady?

I also have a Lavender Lady, but mine is a hybrid Jungle cactus, which
seems unlikely from your description to be the plant you are asking
about.
