I am dreaming of my new garden. What would I like it to be? How would I like it to feel? How will I spent my time in it? How much work will I happily put into it? For the longest of time I feel drawn to white gardens. To be precise to green and white gardens. There is something about the color white that I find so soothing and peaceful. I feel I am getting a break, I can rest. I am thinking to try to keep the front yard all in green and white. But will it be boring in the long run? Will I be disciplined enough to stick to this color scheme? Will there be enough white flowering plants in Central Texas? Is this too artificial, too contrived? Many questions that I don’t know the answers to, yet, and that’s OK. The lovely blossoms featured in the image belong to a particularly beautiful mock orange variety with the name Philadelphus ‚Snowbelle‘. I took the photo on one of my trips to England. All of you who celebrate Easter, I am wishing a lovely Easter weekend! For most of us it will be quite different from what we are used to, I certainly will miss having an Easter brunch with friends, but let’s try to make the best out of it! That is all we can do, really! . . . #mockorange #mockorangeblossoms #white #whiteflowers #whitegardens #moongarden #moongardens #blossoms #whiteblossoms #fortheloveofwhite #philadelphus #philadelphussnowbelle #austintexas #austin #centraltexas #texas #england #newgarden # garden #gardens gardening #gardendesign (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-18LEtA9Pg/?igshid=1nizpjq3i3crw

Thinking a lot about spring today and wondering if the mock orange I planted will survive the winter.. 🤞🏼 #winnipeg #florist #spring #flowers #floral #botanical #gardenflowers #mockorange (at Winnipeg, Manitoba)
