Garden chronicles, the white garden and the backyard borders

My backyard has not been fully embraced, with plans for a pool one day I knew heavy equipment would leave it's mark so only perimeter planting was iniated. I love a white garden, visible all day, but it glows by night. My plan is to eventually have a greenhouse, I wanted to grow my own white border, so this area has purposely been sparse, but lately I've been sneaking home enough plants it's time to start my infamous plant lists! I like to recall what's planted, helpful when starting propagation and sharing. 1/2 the garden border is my bearded iris collection, the other half is the white crescent and then a bright mixed border against the house.

  2. Wow! I think you have some of the prettiest white flowers I've ever seen. Such an amazing collection. Your irises too! Always a joy to "visit" your garden. I'm swooning over that gorgeous birdhouse!!

  3. I'm in awe of how much you've planted in such a short time. My postage stamp sized garden keeps me hopping, I don't know how you keep up! Would love to see it in person!!
