White Flowers - White roses, White pansies and More

Here's a tip:  Spring planters filled with white pansies are a STAND OUT!

Who would think that simple white pansies would be so remarkable?

Amidst nascent green foliage and gray spring skies these white petalled flowers sparkle and shine to such a degree that you have to smile

...and I am not the first to discover white's compelling brilliance.

Vita Sackville West, the erudite English gardener (who became famous for her White Garden in her estate, Sissinghurst)  said it best,

"White flowers are anathema to all but the oldest and most sophisticated of gardeners."

This is a very sly way of saying that if you like white flowers you are are so cultured and tasetful.


...so there you go! I must be very classy because I fancy white pansies,white gardenias, white euphorbia, white lilies and white roses.
