White

All things bright and beautiful: on the eve of Spring, there are still many white plants around:

Galanthus were prolific this year. Earlier on hellebore were fresh and beautiful. Now violas and primula denticulata are having their turn. Saxifragae started off the season in a sunny spot some three weeks ago.

Clearing the garden of all the overgrown bushes is almost complete. Thousands of maple seedlings have been pulled, most of the home-made compost is spread, dahlias and potatoes have been planted, now it's time for dividing and replanting herbaceous decorative plants.
