Last month I posted about our balloon flowers, all of which were purple.  Even when the buds appeared to be white, the flowers were purple when they opened.  Balloon flowers continue to pop open by our fence, but now all of the flowers are white…

“White… is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black… God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white.”

Gilbert K. Chesterton
