joy in spring flowers
I love white. Checking out my gardens at this time of year brings me both happiness and sadness….happiness for the white, and, sadness for the white. I so adore all varieties of white flowers, but seeing them in bloom in my garden reminds me that my original plan to have all my gardens exclusively in white (a virgin garden), did not come to fruition. It just got so difficult to find white varieties that I eventually gave in to purchasing varieties in other colors. I still do my best to find all the white I can. And, when I get my annuals, I pick mostly white…the last few years I have been loving euporbia (diamond frost…the poinsettia relative) in my containers. I still mourn my white forsythia…one of my favorite ‘whites’, but apparently it just did not like my yard….
Deutzia gracilis Nikko
Dicentra spectabilis Alba Bleeding Heart
Syringa vulgaris White Lilac
Galium odorata Sweet woodruff
Convallaria majalis Lily-of-the-Valley
So for now, everything is blooming white and all is right in the garden. :)

Do you have any? They really end up spreading like weeds if you let them :)
Your garden must be absolutely elegant! The photos say so beyond a doubt. White peonies, too, I imagine?
We must live close by. I’m in Portland. I’d love to drop by your garden sometime.
I am in Connecticut…quite a ways away lol!
Truly beautiful whites. Gorgeous photos.
Thank you Ann…I love your photography :)
Wow–this is so beautiful and artistic. I especially like the photo with the basketweave pattern in the background!
[…] This trip, my personal favorites…in order of fascination were – the copper beech trees, the whimsical topiary garden, and the rose arches. And, I should mention (in case you don’t already know), that I have a special affinity for all flowers white! (If you need some proof, you can check out the white flowers in my garden last spring.)
