In 1978, our section had a brand-new house and about an inch of topsoil on it.Northing else.
No plants. No birds. Nothing.
So we started planting.
One of them was this one
| Kingdom: | Plantae |
| Division: | Magnoliophyta |
| Class: | Magnoliopsida |
| Order: | Rosales |
| Family: | Rosaceae |
| Subfamily: | Spiraeoideae |
| Genus: | Spiraea |
Not being too clued up on gardening back then, we bought fairly indiscriminately.
Mum and Dad were over a couple of years later in very early spring - not a sign of flowers yet - and Dad - from a long lineage of plantsmen - said "I've always liked the idea of a white garden"
White?
"Well, how about this one?"
"That'll be white", he said.
Was too.

Well, "out-of-sight-out-of-mind," I guess! Without a daily back and forth commentary, bloggers seem to move on, don't we? Even tho I don't have the pleasure of your witty remarks during your vacation, I must remember to visit! The blooms in the photo are lovely to see!!
