White flowers predominate in our garden this week:




White isn’t an absence of colour. It’s the presence of all colors. White light comprises all hues on the visible light spectrum. Sigmund Freud wrote about why flowers are so restful to look at. He said: “They don’t have conflicts or emotions. They are harmony, and the colour white in flowers takes the harmony to the next level.” White flowers symbolize new beginnings, purity, innocence, beauty, and spirituality.
It’s restful to see flowers so white
they bring soft feelings of delight
remembering a white garden… when I lived at home in Streatham. London, there was an area off a Blind Garden all planted with white flowers it was a picture, it was in the Rookery at Streatham Common.. must google and see if they have still got it there.. lovely gardens even with a Well where we used to drop pennies in.. thanks for reminding me off home!

I imagine it would have had lots of scented flowers for blind people to enjoy.

the most famous white garden is at Sissinghurst the garden created by Vita Sackville West and Harold Nicholson.. although many stately homes also have white gardens. I bought a white oakleaf Hydrangea yesterday to go with all my other white hydrangeas.A white garden is very cooling in the heat of summer and even better observed in the dusk or under a full moon xx

Very true. I hope your hydrangea flourishes. I like white flowers, but also love the brightly coloured ones, and am currently enjoying sweet peas along my front fence.
