Wonderous Whites

Leave a comment

White flowers are essential for every garden, because they go with every color in a bouquet.  There is even a plant nursery (in Connecticut, USA) that took the name White Flower Farm.

My honeysuckle has had the same home for so long the vine now covers a fence.  Its blooms continuously, so there are always flowers in various stages.  When the wind is blowing just right, you can pick up the delicate scent from away.

Ah, the field daisies!  They look fabulous in a meadow.
When my son was at home, and mowed the fields for us, he learned to mow around the field daisies, just because I liked them.
In the last couple of years, they have tried to make a home in my flower gardens.  At first, I thought it was a treat, but all too soon, they took over.  After blooming, they get ratty and mangy looking.  This year, I am digging and digging and more digging to get them out of the cultivated area.
Will I ever learn?
