The small magic of white flowers in the moonlight

“I am your moon and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too. I have come all this way, eager for you
Without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you.”
Rumi 

There is something about white flowers that draws me to them, even more than colorful flowers. Maybe it is the romance of a moonlight garden, something I have always wanted.
But I spent my lunch hour recently at a local greenhouse, photographing just the white flowers there.
the sheep live outside the greenhouse and were just a bonus of the afternoon...






















I have been known to waste time googling 'moonlight gardens', like this article on how to create one, or pinning photos of white flowers to this board.
(Trust me, that board is just too beautiful not to click on)
And I have painted other white flowers along the way too, here and here....

I love color 
and I love just about every flower, 
wild or cultivated.
Does anyone hate a flower?
But for me,
 the white flowers hold the most magic.
Like they have a secret to tell...

A pure thought just waiting to be whispered in your ear
If you just take the time to listen.


A few weeks ago I posted about my idea of small magic, and that I planned to make a monthly post on the 13th to show what I find magical. I had planned to add a linky tool so others could link with their posts about how they all find small magic. I am now using blogger on my Ipad, and for some reason the linky tool will not work for me, but if you have a post about small magic you want to share, please leave a link to it in your comment and maybe I will have the tool thing worked out by next month on the13th... 
I hope you feel like joining in, and I can't wait to see what you have to say about 
what  charms you, 
What enchants you,
Or what takes your breath away!
