I love the simplicity of these white petunias. They seem so clean, so fresh.
My garden is full of color. Pinks, oranges, yellows, reds, purples and a few blues. There are also a lot of green leafy plants around to balance out all that vibrant colour. However, I try to always have a smattering of pure white flowers here and there- Petunias, Datura, White fragrant Four O’ Clocks, Jasmine, Nicotina and White Phlox. I find that the white flowers that I’ve chosen all have a lovely scent, and many of them bloom and have their greatest scent output at night.
I love the white flowers, not only for their scent, but because they light up the garden at night. Often they are the only flowers that can be scene clearly in the semi-darkness as we sit at our patio table and have dinner or relax.
I guess my garden leads a double life, colourful by day, and black and white by night.

White is a great color in a garden. One year my mom planted only white varieties of her favorite annual. It made for a really stunning show. Wish I had a picture of that! Great photo to share. Happy Sunday!

I love the idea. I tried to grow nicotinia once…back when I was a novice gardner…heck, who am I kiddin’. I’m still a novice.
Anyway, it didn’t take. It could’ve been because it was from Springhill. I finally stopped ordering from them.
Anyway, have a great GTS.

Thanks for the visit! I’d love to join your blog roll but I have no idea how to add it to my blog. I’m thinking of changing to a different one but not sure where I’m heading yet. I’ll let you know when I get settled!

Hi Tricia, Wendy sent me, but I have seen your blog before and lost track of it. The white flowers are lovely, and I bet they look great and set off the colored ones even more. Our season is almost over, hope yours is longer. Happy gardening!

Very beautiful. You have a gift!

I just love your flowers. In my right side bar of my blog I have listed “Betty’s Other Blog.” It’s a Yahoo blog and I have all my flower photos posted there. I’ve been tempted to start another blog thru Blogger to mirror that blog. I’m enjoying photography with my now somewhat new camera.
You posted to my blog as I was getting ready to come here. I understand not many are playing tonight. This is my first time doing the “Casting Call.”

You have beautiful flowers 🙂 I wish I could make something (besides my kids, LOL) grow and flourish! Unfortunately, everytime I’ve ever had a plant of any kind, it’s ended up dying. And not from neglect! I’ve tried so hard to keep them alive 🙁 Anyways, I’ll just stick to looking at beautiful ones like you have! I’m over from Wendy’s Casting Call by the way 🙂

Those flowers are beautiful. If I were there, I suspect that I would find that they are delicious as well. I have been sent here by Wendy’s casting call, so I wish you luck in the contest. Break a leg!

Love the White. Very lovely flowers.
I’d like to grow Nicotina too. I’ve heard they are very fragrant.
Hope you had a great weekend!

Again I’m too early for your new post ( Aust is just too far ahead!), but the petunias are good. My brother, though, likes to call them snail food!
