On Gardening: The color white and the moonlit garden enchanting, magical and full of memories

Each year as my color design guru son James orders plants for use at his clients' homes, from those that look like historic cottages to palatial garden estates, those on the waterfront to those considered mountainous. The one color I can guarantee will be in heavy use is white.

When spring arrives every year with all of its glorious purples, pinks, yellows and reds, the color guaranteed to catch your eye every time is white. (Of course, a scientist would most likely say white is not a color; it absorbs no other color or wavelength and is pure.)

Pure and unspoiled goes in hand with the bride wearing a white dress, or the nurse wearing a white uniform. It’s like the morning you wake and see the pure white snow on the ground that hasn’t been violated in any way.
