I Never Promised You a Rose Garden... Will a White Garden Do?

The white wild orchid that I saw on one of my last walks in France inspired me to look at the different white flowers in our garden.


Our garden in one word could be described as "eclectic" and crazy with colour ... so it was amazing when I took the time to really observe and look at the many different "white" flowers that were making an appearance.

    White lavatera ...
    The many Hostas in flower in different shades of white ...
    One with a mauve tinge.
    Another in a creamy yellow white tone.
   ...Undertones of grey smoke.
    White goose necks ...
   White daisy with yellow centers,
   White obedient plant
    

It has been a busy week since our arrival home... the normal daily household chores, sorting of the mail, plenty of yard work to catch up with...the weeding of the jungle, grass cutting (twice), edging, fertilizing, dead heading and container planting, cleaning the courtyard and setting up the outdoor furniture ready for all that "Ontario's" summer has to offer.

Finally a bouquet to decorate our courtyard table for "apéro" hour ... now we're home!
