Summer Whites…

White flowers in the Southern June Garden joyously light up dim evenings and illuminate gray dawns with gladness-

Humble or magnificent, with pure fragrant ease… Summer White Flowers grace our lives effortlessly and without anxiety…

‘Consider the flowers of the field and learn thoroughly how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin…Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all of his magnificence, excellence, dignity and grace was not arrayed like one of these…Matthew 6:28-29

Wish y’all could smell the magnolias, gardenias and honeysuckle blooming right now! If I could- this would be scratch and sniff- it’s unbelievably sweet! Oh the precious sight of Hydrangeas,

tiny Arugula blossoms and Clover,

silvery white Lamb’s Ears

and more…

Our very own Summer Whites! They don’t seem to have a care in the world, a profound Lesson of Blissful Being instead of Fretful Doing! Have a wonderful day!

Love y’all, Camellia

Grey and white gardens were very popular in the 1930’s. People would even have little get together events towards dusk just to enjoy a few drinks and the white flowers which take on a surreal beauty at dusk. Wonderful.

I used to own a country garden nursery you see, so I have a vast collection of historic gardening books. I love peoples’ accounts of their gardening enjoyments over the decades. Gardening is timeless and so are sumptuous white flowers. Eternal beauties.
