All White in the Garden

At the moment there seems to be a profusion of gorgeous white flowers in the garden

there's some late Victoria Plum Blossom


an Amelanchier or Snowy Mespilus

and a Spiraea Arguta - Bridal Wreath.

All looking wonderful, especially in the fading evening light, but all too soon the show will be over and they will disappear until next year.

  5. The white blossoms in spring are always my favorites...especially when they come in the abundance you photographed. I drive around an extra two blocks when I leave my house because there is a row of Bradford pear trees that are blooming right now...lovely! (as are your photos, of course...I got off track before I ever started this one, didn't I?) ;)

  6. I love watching the early spring flowers change. In the very early days everything is purple and yellow - then the whites arrive as if to make way for the profusion of colour that we'll have in summer.

    Your photos are gorgeous!

  9. You are so right Rosie, white flowers look at their best in the evening light. I just caught a shot of my Amelanchier before it started to snow its blossom! x

  10. Hi Rosie,

    As usual, your garden is looking lovely! My Bridal Wreath was forlorn this year.. just a few meager blossoms here and there. Not sure what happened... last year it was beautiful. Nice to visit with you again!

  11. I thought the 'Spiraea Arguta' was early Elderflower at first — then I looked at the caption. I also feel a heel for not picking up on your fall in the garden until now. Glad to hear that you are on the mend. Susan and I are so lazy when compared to you and Paul.

    Only a fortnight to our trip. Look forward to seeing you both.

    All our love.
