Wearing White

My garden is sporting the most innocent color it will have all season. White is definitely stunning when it's on the bride, but more so when it's in the flowers. Here is a photo essay of the beauty happening this week. To start out the show we have a dwarf white columbine that is only about 12 inches tall, it is the first of the columbines to bloom. It is a soft silky white with blue green leaves.
Next we have the dainty galanthus showing it's downward facing bright white blooms with green tips.
True to form are the swaying, creamy off-white tulips standing out among the brights of red and yellow.
Drifts of white phlox are coming down from the terraced planting in the front.
And soon to show the most stunning of blossoms will be the double white clematis. Here are the unique buds.
And what the double white clematis will look like in a couple of weeks.
Well until the next show of color, I hope this tides you over.

The new perennial shade garden before and after photos. Cause I know that y'all love photos. And I like to show my hard work off to others who know and appreciate the efforts. Ok, so here they are:
Before (yuck!)
After (hurray!)
We were out of town for the weekend and I came back to what I think is Galanthus blooming, although it has usually bloomed much earlier in the year. Here is a quick picture. Does anyone know what this is?
