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. :)
