happiness in white

joy in spring flowers

my garden lillies of the valley

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.  :)
