This month Jude at Travel Words asks us to find beauty in shades of white and silver.
Here are a few recent finds in and around the garden.
Flowers from the top: columbine, allium, foxglove, valerian, pyracantha, pulmonaria leaves, lamb’s ears and finally, a most welcome interloper to the guerrilla garden, among the valerian, hesperis and red campion some white campion; who knows how she got there.
A dazzlingly lovely gallery – I have always had a very soft spot for rabbits ears – and they’re beautifully silvery / white, especially after rain. Mine are sporting some very loud pink flowers just now, too! 🙂
My rabbits ears are being a bit slow to flower, but yes the leaves look wonderful coated in rain drops.
These are beautiful photos, nicely put together
Thanks, Alison.
Lovely dazzling whites
Happy to dazzle 🙂
And pretty finds they are. White and green just look so fresh together.
I agree on the green and white.
Great selection, Tish!
Thanks, Sue.
Lovely gallery Tish. I find white flowers difficult to photograph, but you’ve done a great job.
Thanks, Sue. White flowers seem to radiate light somehow which makes them difficult.
beautiful phoyos of flowers
White is such a delight.
Also very cooling to the mind I’m finding.
I agree.
glorious
Thank you, Becky.
Fabulous gallery Tish, great photo of the dandelion clock which are always difficult to get sharp I find and I love your silvery raindrops on the lamb’s/ rabbit’s ears. I haven’t tried growing it as I think my garden is too wet, but I do like the texture. Maybe I’ll give it a go in my newly created gravel area.
The new gravel area sounds like an interesting project. My lambs/rabbits ears are growing on the edge of the path gravel.
I might try some then in the other half that has yet to be done. Hopefully the gravel mulch will help and the soil in this part of the garden is quite stony.
Gorgeous!
What a beautiful white gallery, Tish! I’m having hard time to choose my favorite. 🙂
Thank you, Amy 🙂
I love the campion flowers am trying to introduce them into my garden.
I’m hoping the white one will replicate as well as the red ones do, though she does have far fewer flowers per stem so perhaps less seed-power. We’ll see.
It is so pleasing
Thank you, Waruni.
