Nature's "White Flower Farm"

June 18, 2017  •  Leave a Comment

There's the Moon Garden at White Flower Farm—a delicious all-white planting that every gardener would like to duplicate—and then there's a more subtle white flower congregation that nature produces. The latter, of course, requires no work at all... just a well-timed hike to the right place. Today, the proper location, after a series of rain showers had lightened to a slight mist, was in the backwoods, where a combination of Indian Pipes and Partridgeberry blossoms emulated moon glow brought to the forest floor. The effect was stunning and well worthy of center stage in a horticulture magazine... or a natural history publication. I guess I work for the latter, so I took the camera and 85mm Micro lens out of its rain protection, got very low to the ground, swatted away the mosquitoes, and got down to documenting another kind of "white flower farm."
