Shades of White

Universally, Gertrude Jekyll's white garden is inspiring.  In the early evening and the start of the shades of night as darkness sets in...white flowers and the lighter hued plants are truly glorious. This week, after a very long day I had a quick and privileged 1/2 hour in the garden and snapped these shades of white in our own wonderfully inspiring garden. Our garden may not be formal and carefully composed but it's beauty is something dear to behold.

White Dianthus - smells like spicy gloriosity

Neutral coloured rose by any other name...

Hosta hosta the fresh and lovely one

Foxglove central - the elusive biannual

The humble Dandelion - gone to seed

`

The ubiquitous goutweed flower - nice huh? 

Wild Astilbe - brought by birds

Iris - our spring glory now just a memory
