    I consider White as a color! Over the weekend I noticed that all of my plants with white flowers were doing and well and blooming. Such a nice color, that white!

    I love your white blooms! :stew2: Since I'm not allowed to mention the S-word, I'll just say that we've got lots of white outside. ;)

    Nice shots. White may not be considered a color, but it sure brightens up the dark corners around my yard :)

    I've always loved white flowers in the garden. They almost glow in the dark and are a great foil for other coloured blooms. Love your photographs!! :-D

    Sjoerd... you're right... no sign of Fall. It's still like summer here. But they are forecasting a bit cooler weather for the weekend. And no rain in the forecast. There's a burn ban for basically all of Southeast Texas.
    Never thought I'd say it, but I sure would enjoy a few rainy days and some cold weather!

    Kay... those are gorgeous! I love that White Hibiscus. One of my aunts gave me seeds from her's. Can't wait to see it's bright white smiling face!
