The white garden

I love this moment when the garden switches from the blues and yellows of early spring to myriad white blooms. Next up will be Lilies saturated with color. I'm trying to celebrate this calm moment and hoping the weather stays quiet and cool so I can enjoy these plants a bit longer. 

THE BIG WHITES:

Trillium grandiflorum

Rhododendron yedoense poukahanense

Rhododendron yakushimanum 'Yaku Angel'

Clematis 'Guernsey Cream'

THE LITTLE WHITES:

Gallium odoratum

Epimedium x youngianum 'Niveum'

Tiarella 'Crow Feather'

Tiarella x cordifolia 'Running Tapestry'

Oh, wow...your Guernsey Cream is gorgeous! A friend gave me a start several years ago, but it always dies back before getting much of a start. I'd decided to give up on it, but maybe I will just order my own plant and try from scratch.

I'm not the most Rhododendron savvy person but when I saw the photo of the Rhododendron yedoense poukahanense I had to page up to see what the name of that lily was. Ha! It's gorgeous, as are the Clematis.

On these gloomy overcast spring days I bet those whites scream spring. Lovely.

Supposedly warm and sunny tomorrow. Can't wait!

I tried moving this Clematis once and killed it. So I bought another — the one pictured here — which is now 12 years old and doing better than ever.

Lovely and calming. Since enjoying your blooms right now is quite a luxury, could this garden moment be called white privilege? (Sorry, couldn't stop my fingers.)

It's all lovely. I wonder how long it will be before my Guernsey is blooming. If it never warms up, certainly quite a while.

White and green, especially in woodland. So very restful.
