All along the highways of New Jersey the Blue Chicory grows. I feel fortunate to have found one little White Chicory plant growing with the other weeds in the gravel on the side of the highway.
All things are ours because we love
The earth below, the sky above
The mountains, meadow, sand and sea
All things surrounding you and me
Are but a sweet reflection of
The gentle wonder of our love.
I found this large female Goldenrod Crab Spider out in the garden feasting on a honeybee. As I took photos of her, she dropped the bee, cleaned up the ends of her legs, and got ready to catch another meal.
The Goldenrod Spider, is a species of crab spider. In North America, where it is the largest and best-known flower spider, it is called the goldenrod crab spider or flower crab spider, because it is commonly found hunting in goldenrod sprays in the autumn. These spiders may be yellow or white, depending on the flower in which they are hunting. These spiders change color by secreting a liquid yellow pigment into the outer cell layer of the body. On a white base, this pigment is transported into lower layers, so that inner glands, filled with white guanine, become visible.

Hibiscus arnottianus
Hibiscus arnottianus A. Gray – koki‘o ke‘oke‘o ("koki‘o that is white like the shine of silver") is an endemic species of hibiscus with white flowers. Three subspecies are recognized: H. arnottianus arnottianus found in the Wai‘anae mountain of western O‘ahu; H. a. immaculatus which is very rare (listed as endangered) on Moloka‘i; and H. a. punaluuensis from the Ko‘olau Range on O‘ahu. Perhaps only a dozen plants of H. a. immaculatus exist in nature. This species is closely related to H. waimeae, and the two are among the very few members of the genus with fragrant flowers. Sometimes planted as an ornamental or crossed with H. rosa-sinensis (see photo). In the Hawaiian language the white hibiscus is known as the Pua Aloalo.
Known in the ancient times to symbolize virginity, purity as well as majesty, this six-petal while flower also says, "It's heavenly to be with you," according to some plant experts.
The white lily takes on a different shapes - depending on the angle that is viewed on. Viewed from the front (like what is shown here), the petals open up to make it look like a star. From the side, the white lily looks like a bell.

"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 Keith Chesterton [British author, 1874–1936]
My white orchid is still flowering well. I put it outdoors for a while, but it is usually kept in the conservatory.
