it is a beautiful morning here. walked about,snapping clems and also trimming some back that are bloomed out.
here is another shot of the summer white display. a friend visiting noticed that the alba luxurians is really a milk white (with a blue tinge) when not planted in full sun. also the black tips on the anthers os m le coultre do not show until the bloom ages, it opens with a pristine,creamy center. you can see the new and old blooms together here that illustrate the changing of the anthers with age of the bloom.
