White Dahlia
They said white flowers in the garden bring a sense of serenity, that color white symbolizes purity, innocence, love, elegance etc. I suppose white flowers can brighten up shady areas and bring quietness to the garden. In the evening, especially in the season of 'White nights' they can also make my garden come alive.
White Asiatic Lilies
White flowers look interesting planted with green foliage plants, as Hostas, Miscantus, Conifers, Rodgersia, Potentilla. I usually plant white flowers mixing them with other colorful plants because white color always combines well with any plants in any garden.
White roses 'Swany' and Rose-Marie (Austin's roses)
White Phlox paniculata
When I'd been visiting the Wisley gardens in the UK I saw an all-white garden. I learned that to do it is more difficult than it looks. As you see on my photos color 'white' can often be partially yellow or creamy. Nevertheless, white flowers can be a spectacle in a garden, bringing a sense of coolness on hot days.
Camomile (Leucanthemum vulgare) and White Impatiens
Нydrangea arborescens and Нydrangea paniculata
I have a white and blue border although true blue flowers are difficult too.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how nice your border looks Sue!
DeleteNadezda, I love white flowers (Camellias, water lilies, roses) and your garden looks beautiful in white. Have a wonderful week!

Gracias, Marcelo!
DeleteWhen you start to really think about it, it is amazing how many white flowers there are, and they really do enhance a garden.
ReplyDeleteYes, David they do. I agree there are many white flowers.
DeleteНадежда,очень красивые белые цветы! Шикарная подборка!Белый цвет виден с любого уголка сада ,это украшает..
ReplyDeleteВы правы Надежда, белые цветы притягивают взгляд.
DeleteI love the white color in the garden! All your white flowers are beautiful !! My eyes love your white phloxes!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
So do I, Ela. I always wait for their blossoms.
DeleteI have some white flowers; yours are just beautiful. In a former garden I loved having Casa Blanca lilies, but I cannot grow them in my new garden. Thank you for sharing all that sparkle.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, thanks for stopping by!
DeleteHello Nadezda,
ReplyDeleteI love all your white flowers! I have many of them in my garden. Hydrangea paniculata is a very good plant here too. They tolerate cold temperatures.
Have a nice week!
You're right Marit, Hydrangea paniculata is my favorite plant, it grows and blooms very pretty.
DeleteYou white flowers is awesome beautiful! Have a nice evening
ReplyDeleteKiitos, Anne!
DeleteSon preciosas tus flores, mis preferidas son azucenas y rosas. Besitos.
ReplyDeleteGracias, Teresa!
DeleteI like white flowers too. Next spring I am going to plant 300 tulips in white. What do you think of that? Groetjes Hetty
ReplyDeleteOh, Hetty! So many tulips! It's a hard work to plant all of them but I can imagine how beautiful they will bloom in spring.
DeleteI enjoyed your focus on white flowers, which bring a feeling of peace and serenity to the garden. Your white roses, hydrangea and Lillium are especially beautiful! Nice post!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked my choice to write about white color in the garden, Lee. All these white plants look pretty and decorate my garden.
DeleteAll of your white flowers were lovely. I was most attracted to the hydrangea paniculata. I would like to experience your "White Nights."
ReplyDeleteI think the experience of White nights will be unusual to you, this twilight time attracts many tourists.
DeleteYour white flowers are an absolute treat Nadezda. We have white Oriental Lilies with an amazing fragrance.
ReplyDeleteAlistair, I have had Oriental Lilies time ago but they aren't hardy to our climate. My lilies are Asiatic ones.
DeleteHow beautiful your white flowers are, Nadezda. I grow some of the same plants in my own garden and find white blooms refreshing in the heat of summer.
ReplyDeleteYou're right Peter, I noticed that in this hot summer as well.

ReplyDeleteWhite colors! how beautiful.
janicce.
Thank you Janicce!
DeleteBeautiful white flowers in your garden, Nadezda. I like lilacs.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
So do I. Thank you Tania,
Deletehappy weekend!
Hello Nadezda !
ReplyDeleteI love those white Asiatic lilies ! .. You didn't say exactly which ones they are ? ..
White in the garden is a favorite of mine .. I think it lifts the atmosphere when the foliage may be a bit overwhelming.
You are so right about it being trickier than thought .. I think I have to plan my white patches out better myself for next year as well .. yours are gorgeous ! !
Joy,
DeleteI'm glad you liked my white lilies. If I'm not wrong it's 'New wave' variety.
Hopefully your garden is nice as always next year.
Hola Nadezda, maravillosas tus fotos y plantas. La Begonia es la más bonita que vi en mi vida, me encanta. Besos y feliz semana.
ReplyDeleteMe encanta Lola que te gusta mi begonia. Este es el primer año cuando florece tan lindo.
DeleteBesos!
I love white flowers, too, Nadezda! Hydrangea wouldn't grow in my garden. Most of my white flowers grow in May. But this summer nearly nothing blooms in my garden thanks to no rain and permanent heat. Seeing your green-white garden pictures makes me very jealous. My lawn is now completely dried out, not green anymore. :(
ReplyDeleteYour phlox, lily and roses look very beautiful in white!
Sorry, Sigrid, this summer is very dry and hot, we have had the same weather here too. Now we have usual weather, +24 C with rains and winds. last month I was always worrying about watering the garden. I'm glad you liked my white flowers.
DeleteSuch beautiful looking flowers, this is a stunning looking garden. I love the quality and clarity of these pictures. Thanks for the share, hope you had a fantastic weekend. Keep up the posts.
ReplyDeleteWorld of Animals
Thank you, World of Animals! It's a pleasure that you like my photos.
DeleteHappy weekend!
Gorgeous white flowers, Nadezda!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to plant white flowers in a shady area. There's a rhododendron with almost white flowers, aquilegias, Lamprocapnos 'Alba', white Galium, Convallaria, even white Lupins... but this summer was so hot and dry that the project didn't go much further.
Have a happy Thursday!
You write about your white flowers, Sara and I see that I have the same ones here too. Galium, we call it 'forest tea' widely grows around, 'lily-of-valley' I grow in my rocky garden, it flowers greatly every spring. But this summer was a challenge to many of plants, you're right.
DeleteHappy weekend!
I like white flowers very much and have along the path to the greenhouse a double white border. Your last photo is so beautiful! The whites I use in my garden are white roses, Hydangeas, Phloxes, Anemones, Cosmeas, Viburnums, white Vinca, Lysimachia clethroides and so on.
ReplyDeleteWish you a nice weekend Nadezda!
Janneke
A lot of white flowers in your garden, Janneke. I especially love your Hydrangeas, can imagine your pretty double white border.
DeleteHave a nice Saturday!
White flowers are so elegant. I love it
ReplyDeleteYes they are, Endah, thank you.
