Nigel stayed overnight in Wanaka recently and took these photos of a small garden outside his hotel .. the white lavender being of particular interest. The lavender flowers are big, complementing the white roses beautifully.
Wanaka is an alpine town on the edge of Lake Wanaka and near to skifields and the stunning Mount Aspiring National Park.

A border that looks really pretty and smells wonderful too! White lavender is rare here but would look very good in my garden…hmmm… 🙂

All lavenders would look great in your garden – why not go crazy and have pink, white and green? Go for it! 🙂

Sounds like a great idea – would smell fantastic and look lovely and be full of bees too. Perfect!

Those are really pretty flowers, Liz. I must confess that I did not know that there was a white version of lavender, given that I think of lavender as a color as well as a flower.

Oh yes, there’s other lovely colours in lavender flowers – white (alba), reddish-purple, beautiful pink (rosea), and even green (viridis)! Here’s a link to a photo of a gorgeous green flower – and much to my enjoyment the page loaded with wandering ladybirds! link: https://maryflower.co.nz/shop/lavender-viridis/
