>That’ll be white – #94

>In 1978, our section had a brand-new house and about an inch of topsoil on it.

Northing else.

No plants. No birds. Nothing.

So we started planting.

One of them was this one

Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Magnoliophyta
Class: Magnoliopsida
Order: Rosales
Family: Rosaceae
Subfamily: Spiraeoideae
Genus: Spiraea

Not being too clued up on gardening back then, we bought fairly indiscriminately.

Mum and Dad were over a couple of years later in very early spring – not a sign of flowers yet – and Dad – from a long lineage of plantsmen – said “I’ve always liked the idea of a white garden”

White?

“Well, how about this one?”

“That’ll be white”, he said.

Was too.

  1. >Well, “out-of-sight-out-of-mind,” I guess! Without a daily back and forth commentary, bloggers seem to move on, don’t we? Even tho I don’t have the pleasure of your witty remarks during your vacation, I must remember to visit! The blooms in the photo are lovely to see!!
