Some white and different"light" with your colour?

The other morning had some pretty clouds and and different light values glowing back and forth.

I'm not up to speed with posting so it has become a bit of a "head scratcher" for me lately.

I just wander the garden and snap pictures without really thinking about them the way I usually do .. to have some kind of logical sequence of some sort.

My "rain flower frog" made me smirk .. you can't see the metal flowers over head that tinkle? when the rain falls in them .. his expression was perfect though!
Winchester Cathedral is blooming nicely .. that touch of white I was looking for .. but the scent is not as nice as William Shakespeare .. and sadly my roses from Vesey are both dead as door nails so a letter and pictures were sent off over the weekend .. I am hoping to hear from them soon!

It is such a disappointment .. I was so looking forward to those roses ..
Ostrich astilbe is perfect .. all my astilbe are perfect .. how can you not think that of astilbe anyways .. even after the flowers are dried out the foliage is beautiful .. just about the perfect plant in your garden!
Henrii has finally been sneaking out some blooms .. poor guy has been shoved and squeezed and bound up with Niobe .. they are like an old married couple .. a bit cranky, but holding strong so far?
Petite Delight monarda is so sweet !! I love the scent of bee balm .. nothing beats it other than anise hyssop and roses .. and .. well .. there is always something else to add to the list but I do love bee balm to bits!
Another touch of white .. the lighting doesn't do it justice .. but there I go using a picture I am not really satisfied with .. but .. this astilbe .. is so gorgeous ! I love the flower structure and will have to hunt through 2010 garden tag box to figure which one it is ! eeekkkk!
Yes ... I have to include my Morden Sunrise in almost every post because she is so beautiful and I know I have other gardeners thinking the same way too!
White nicotiana .. not perfumed but the white was what I was looking for .. so I am hoping those plants get happy in the bulb circle and fill it out with bright white : )
My Karl Foerster grass was magical in that light .. almost silver with a bit of beige .. so graceful in the wind .. it is in it's glory now.
The Goldfinches get a bit paranoid when I am trying to take their picture .. but they keep eating anyways .. go figure ? .. I can almost hear him saying "take the picture already and leave us to have our meal in peace lady!!!"
My favorite native lily .. Canada Lily .. never quite opens on Canada Day but what the heck .. she tries hard every year to .. even if she is orange and not red or white .. she is a beauty : )
Now for some roses with my coffee .. Orange Velvet (hard to pin the colour down in this picture, I know ..) and Winchester Cathedral look pretty together .. and the coffee isn't bad either!
