White Wednesday in Normandy.

Wherever my eye rests in the garden at the moment I see white blossoms fit for a bride.
Last years sickly, white clematis is making a healthy comeback against the ancient stone wall which surrounds the garden.
Pittosporum tenuifolium Irene Paterson below came home from the garden centre with me last week.

Not to be outdone, Mother Nature provides beautiful white hawthorn flowers to perfume the garden......... and sprinkles delicate wildflowers along the lanes.


I'm linking this post to Kathleen's weekly meme White Wednesday @ Faded Charm where you will find a wonderful selection of whites to please your eye.

  2. Maggie,

    Beautiful flowers. I love clematis. I have had hawthorne trees but mine never had any fragrance - just beautiful flowers.

    Have a great day my friend.

  3. Gorgeous flowers Maggie! Visiting France is a long time dream of ours. Although with a family of six, it can be so costly. Any tips for France on a budget? I'd love to hear them!

  5. Hi Maggie,

    We have pittosporum here, too, but it must be a different variety because it doesn't even come close to what you have there. Your garden must be beautiful in the moonlight with all those beautiful white blossoms...

  7. Maggie, love your white flowers. One plant I have never been very successful with is clematis. I see it growing in other gardens in abundance, and do what I'm told, but it doesn't do well for me. Yours is gorgeous!

  16. Hi Maggie,
    All of the white flowers are just beautiful! I love the contrast of the white clematis against the stone wall.
    Thanks for stopping by and checking on me, I really appreciate it. I was away from blogging for too long and really missed my computer time.
    Have I told you that my husband, son and I are going to be visiting friends in England this summer? They live in Cambridge. We are planning a short trip to Paris while we are there. We are counting down the days!!
    Take care.

  17. Maggie, love seeing all your beautiful blooms. I think white flowers are the best in the landscape because they sparkle even in the dark of night. My gardenia tree was in all its glory this week. Sadly the blooms are now all brown. It was a fleeting show of color.
