@Meg-zone8aOR Thank you :) I've gotta say, I'm really enjoying these color threads!

I enjoy them too, and it gives me new ideas for companion plants I want to try with my roses. I've always loved nigella but never tried growing it. Your white variety is just gorgeous. Thanks for sharing that! Your roses are gorgeous too, I planted a baby Madame Plantier last year and I can't wait to see her bloom!

White Eden

Crocus Rose

Oops, White Eden disappeared

@Meg-zone8aOR Nigella is super easy to grow, and some might describe the reseeding as... Overeager lol. But they are easy to pull. Here's a full bush shot of Mme. Plantier and a closeup, these shots were from its 2nd season, and it was planted as a band, so you can see it's a very vigorous rose!

Oh, she's so lovely! Thank you for those pics, I love the little bit of creamy blush coloring yours has in the center of the blooms and the green eye 😍 I am so very excited for spring this year!

Thanks for the info on the nigella, did you grow yours from seed?

@Meg-zone8aOR Yes, I think they are best that way, they don't like to be transplanted so I just direct seeded in the garden once and they've reseeded themselves each year since. They also come in single forms, and in shades of blue, here is a single blue with some white candytuft.

Stephanotis

Pink Jamine although just the buds are pink.

Maid of Orleans Sambac jasmine

The best fragrance of the all: a strong vanilla jasmine..Michelia Alba aka Magnolia Alba. I can smell this an acre away on a humid breezy afternoon.

Sultry, as a zone 5 northern gardener, your garden is such an exotic paradise to me, I can't believe the kinds of plants you're able to grow there. I love that you enjoy growing such a huge variety, what a treat to see your photos on these threads.

Thank you. I do zone push quite a bit on some of these, so some get overwintered in a greenhouse lol.

I just have a couple:

Salix Caprea, Weeping Pussy Willow

Little quickfire in its white stage

I never used to use white until someone got me a white begonia and it just glowed. I have been a fan ever since.

Easy Spirit

Desdamona

@Kristine LeGault 8a pnw How are you liking Easy Spirit?? mine is a tiny baby yet.

Mine is really new too but already has had several amazing blooms. So far I really like it.

I'm not actually a fan of whites, so most of the whites in my garden, with the exception of roses, seem to be smaller plants as undergrowth additions. But even roses are hardly pure white. Haha.

Hornungia alpina 'Icecube'

Candytuft

Foxgloves. They are all weed, beautiful weed. LOL.

Dwarf Goat's Beard

Dahlia, the number and arrangement of pink and white petals vary randomly, which is very interesting.

Strawberry

Saxifraga × urbium 'London pride'

Nigella. A seed from a neighbor fell in the garden two years ago, and there are now thousands, what a thug!

Phlox

Gladiolus murielae, may be the best fragrance in my garden.

Dusty Miller. A dog knocked the mother plant off, so I stuck the broken part into the soil and it got rooted!

Cyclamen

Delphinium, poor little thing. It's the only one bloom survived from the rabbits.

Small bulbs. Not sure what it is. They grow on the hillside and come back every year.

And then it's the rose's turn.

My dearest Beta running among the flowers.

These are all so pretty, the snow pics as well. Your little Beta has a lovely place to romp, Feiy. All those tropicals are so neat, Sultry.

Here's a snow pic from a few years ago. We've had no snow this year , but had the polar vortex at Christmas which did some damage. It has been a mild January. Some roses are already leafing out. They might get zapped later. Daffodills are starting to bloom and some crocus.

Amaryllis : I bring the whole pots of them in for the winter

Artemisia Powis Castle, one tough plant

My seedling of The Generous Gardener, Aunt Lucy. Smells like face powder, which Aunt Lucy smelled like.

Blush Noisette

Candytuft

I loved this plant by my mailbox. It was so sparkling white in early spring. City workers dug it up when they had to dig down about 12 feet to repair the sewer line. I tried to save it but it didn't make it.

Crabapple tree, always a welcome sight in spring

Dahlia

Foxgloves...they don't grow wild here so to me they're not weedy and they don't even reseed very well.

Foxglove and dwarf cosmos, Cutesy

Rose, Ducher

Oakleaf hydrangea

Clematis Huldine, pretty young plant

@Feiy (PNWZ8b/9a) They're called "Star of Bethlehem"

Want to add I like your garden, Gardenho.

Ken what a great start with Hosta plantaginea. Every pic is wonderful from the familiar to the exotic. GardenHo knows how much I love her garden so you are not alone in that erasmus.

Salvia Schneehugel

Several of my favorite flowers are also white; including gardenias, yucca, and magnolias.

This Winter has been very mild, almost 0 snow, with most days in the 40 or 50's. I have experienced DEEP snows here though. This year is just way off the charts, though not complaining.

I think this Southern Magnolia is the cultivar 'Victoria'. They all have a very fresh, clean fragrance, and OMG do honeybees absolutely LOVE their blooms. And these flowers are so ancient, they evolved before BEES were even on earth!

What a variety of whites, peren.all. So many airy ones with small blooms. I can see how it could be special just to have a white garden. It goes to show that if you couldn't grow roses, there's no need to be sad because there are so many other beauties. Some of us go so hog wild over the roses. I have close to 400 and have a hard time finding room for the other things I want to grow. Just yesterday I did some digging and found some new ground . Got three clematis planted and a John Cabot rose. Transplanted creeping phlox to the gravel beside the street. I'm expanding into the wasteland.

41, that is a creamy white. I love magnolias. How can a plant evolve without bees? I guess some other flying insects? Seems like the way they're pollinated you'd need some kind of insect. Speaking of bees, they love the tiny white blooms on my Nelly Stevens holly.

@erasmus_gw Pollination via beetles :)

Lots of insects can pollinate flowers. Male mosquitoes, moths, butterflies, bees, ants, beetles, mammals like bats, & even birds like hummingbirds.

Everyone's whites are so beautiful. I may change my mind and begin to try more.

erasmus, Where Beta ran is Discovery Park where has great trails and nice water view. We all enjoy being there. I think foxgloves love my backyard climate. This year I start to move some seedlings to the front yard and hope they can grow well.

Magpie, oh thank you. I can always learn something here. Do you have them too?

Jay, you have many plants I've never heard of. I need to do some research and may get some of them.

Erasmus and Peren thank you.

Erasmus, yes, as said above, Magnolias were probably first being pollinated by flying beetles and other nocturnal insects. Bees are considered "modern" insects by comparison. BTW, many white-flowering plants have NIGHT pollinators, such as moths, or bats. White flowers are more noticeable at night so that makes sense. And getting back to the Magnolias, their flowers are "perfect" (a.k.a., "bisexual"), so male and female parts are located on the same flower. So guessing that makes pollination even easier. Last year was the first year I found wild M. grandifloras sprouting up in my yard from self-sown seeds. P.S., Yes, the bees also seem to love my Nellie Stevens as well.
