Hello! Something a bit different for me today for my shadow shot. I have been posting a lot of buildings recently but today I have some pristine white flowers I found in the Botanic Gardens, Sydney. I'm afraid I don't know the name of these pretties but looking at them reminds me of a dream garden I'd love to have one day. If I had a garden, I would plant it with many different varieties of white flowers. I just think that would be magic! I first saw this idea on a National Trust documentary about Sissinghurst Castle which was Vita Sackville-West's property. She had arranged her garden into beds and "rooms" devoted to one colour only. I just thought that was the best idea! You can see some photos of Sissinghurst here.
Shadow Shot Sunday is hosted by Tracy of Hey Harriet! If you'd like to join in all you have to do is read the instructions here!
Happy Sunday folks!
Such beautiful flowers and delightful shadow shots for the day! Hope you're enjoying a great weekend!

There is a real brilliance for these flowers in Spring (in Oz). They are as white as they can by broken up inly slightly by the sunshine yellow inside. Yes, a garden of these would be one I would be happy to show off. Flora or architecture, there is lots of beauty in each in Sydney!

Lovely flowers Sam! I like the idea of growing many different types of white flowers! I have quite a few white ones in my garden and have no idea what they're called. They're probably weeds! Haha!
I hope your weekend has been lovely and your week ahead a good one! xo

The National Trust description of Sissinghurst sounds so idyllic and wonderful and full of history. I've just spent most of the weekend watching Grand Designs so my head is full of beautiful houses and interiors.
