Some times you just have to stop and look at the smaller pictures in life .. to actually enjoy them instead of trying to categorize them .. assess ? their value and importance in files that are groaning with way too many blurry, or really and truly NOT that good enough to keep .. yet I'm having such a hard time deleting them .... are you getting my drift here ?
So it is time to just look at and enjoy some of the smaller pictures ...
I planted a pretty white astilbe .. japonica "Deutschland" and it has amazed me with how much brighter this little spot in the garden has become already.
White is such a pretty contrast to other plants in the garden .. I know there is the concept of a "Moonlight Garden" I would love to have enough room to dedicate it to white plants only .. but being out in the moonlight enjoying it .. well .. I would never make it out that late, plus ... I dread bumping into BUGS at night ?? Some gardener eh ? ; )

That part about bumping into bugs, and not ever being out in the garden late at night, well, that could be me. LOL.
Maybe we need to plan a early morning sunrise garden? Wouldn't that be pretty, all golds, ambers, yellows, oranges....

I have lots of white blooms or white foliage in my garden. Sure love the astilbe. White makes everything else pop.
I know what you mean by being overloaded, I am feeling the same way.
I love your white in the garden(-: I seem to not have luck with astilbe )-: To hot here maybe? I do have a moon flower though and this is the first time! I love seeing the blooms(-: I guess its actually a weed but I think its awesome! I love white flowers in the garden and I like to mix them up through out so it adds a little contrast!(-:
The "little pictures" are a real treat. )

Jen girl ! I'm so glad some one else has my "phobia" too ? LOL .. It seems ridiculous to be that way and still call myself a "gardener" ? I should be afriad of bugs right ? LOL
YES ! A sunrise garden is a perfect idea :: )
Hey Janet ... that is what I think too ! .. white is the perfect contrast and highlight to show off other plants .. astilbe is one of my favorites : )
Keewee .. You are too ? I think maybe it is the time of year when everything is so busy and you feel stretched to the limit ? ; )
Cindee girl .. I think you might be right about it being so hot, dry thing .. I have a moonflower vine popping out in a planter with that "chocolate" morning glory too and I am so hoping for some pretty blooms with it .. I don't think it is a weed at all girl .. have you posted pictures of it that I missed I wonder ?
Hello there Karen .. thank you girl ! ; )
White is wonderful in the garden. I have that Deutschland and it is a real good performer. Never seen a white lavender but I can see how you are attached to it. It's wonderful to get a bit of white in the summer.
White lavender... I haven't figured out yet if I like the lime-green lavender that I saw during the last garden tour, and now this one! You people don't make my life easier!
I'm getting more and more fond of white flowers - they can be enjoyed during daylight as well - with or without bugs...

Tina girl I have a thing for splashes of white .. the lavender is a surprise to me of how beautiful it really is .. astilbe is an easy choice because they look lovely always !
Tatyana .. I haven't seen the lime green lavender yet ! Now that would be something out of the ordinary .. I still love the look of Munstead as the true violet/blue ? lavender .. i have quite a few Provence ones that are maturing so I hope to cut all the wonderful long flower buds and dry them .. love to have that scent over the long hard winter : )
Katarina .. I hope to enjoy all of my flowers without bugs if at all possible girl ! LOL
