All things white and beautiful…
I love a white garden and am gradually turning House’s garden over to white (with hints of black). I love the way the whites glow at night and the way they ‘pop’ with luminescence in the daytime…
I have a thing about clematis and you will see them here and there. This is a Montana cultivar but in true Prue fashion, have forgotten what…
Native convolvulus
Honesty
Candy Tuft
Arum lily
Hebe
Double white hellebore
Unknown
Another Montana with a slight pink tinge
This clematis I love. Tiny flowers with 5 petals and the faintest green wash.
Virburnum – Guilder rose
Last of the freesias
Lawn daisies
Lily of the valley
See? I love the whites in the garden. And more to come – white iris, more white clematis, and a rose I love that succumbed to some disease and which will be replaced.
Vita Sackville West’s white garden at Sissinghurst (above) is the dream and the inspiration.
Lovely, Prue! And I do agree about white in a garden. It’s partly to do with the way it stands out against the green of the leaves. I have two white hydrangeas on order at the moment.
It’s the luminosity for me both at night and in the day. I only ever buy white and ‘black’ plants for the garden… boring but there you go!
There is nothing so beautiful as flowers and yours are lovely!
Thanks Kathryn, I love my garden…
