Wedding Gown

Looking pretty white this morning! The heat blushes it up to a pale, pale pink.

This is my Gentle Shepard.

Blooms are lovely, but the foilage is suffering--I'm thinking I have to move it away from that big boxwood.

Now that is the best photo I have seen so far. Although I can see the blush in the petals, that is to be expected... it IS a daylily. I am glad to see an honest garden photo of it looking whiteish... instead of the photoshopped ones that make you go "hmmmmm...." Lovely form and wavy edge.

Last year I found a bunch of these at Home Depot. I wasn't looking for a small hydrangea but I bought one. liked it so much I went back and bought 7!! I'm going to buy more this year also. They were a blooming machine, had fantastic fall color and they all survived what was one of the worst winters in CT in a very long time. And to add: I live in deer infested woods. I used Liquid Fence and so far they have been ignored. I honestly adore these hydrangeas.

I would suggest the Nazli Gelin Book 2 Garden Party that has two patterns that could be adapted for wedding dresses. One is shown in beige or ivory and has a lot of open space; the other is a white tunic with a scoop neck, short sleeves, plain bodice with a natural waist, and then a skirt part in a vertical herringbone pattern. The skirt could be made any length desired, and beading around the neckline and sleeve edge would be darling. The book is available from Universal Yarn Company and can be found through "Google" on the internet.

I found this picture on the web that has an "uneven" hem, like I was talking about. My dress is embroidery all the way to the hem, which makes it hard to cut. My dress will be llonger in the front instead of the side, like the picture. Does it look ok?

I think the skirt is lovely. I don't like the top or the headdress. What is the name of that piece that wraps around her shoulders? Whatever it's called, I think it does nothing for her. I would rather have seen the gown skirt with an off-the-shoulder neckline using, say, tiny cap sleeves. Something more fitted, to balance out the gorgeous poof of a skirt. As for the headdress, I think it's much too substantial for such a romantic dress.

Wedding Gown does have heavy substance. It's taking a bit of time to settle in.
'08 bloom scapes were all of 8 freaking inches, the blossom literally brushed the ground. On the bright side, this bloom is from the proliferation that scape made, which I just weighted down with a rock to root on the spot. The mother plant scapes are twice as thick, and stand at 13 1/2" this year (not counting some s-shaped curvature from vestigial lateral branches.) I have bud counts at 10-14.

I bet they'll straighten out next year and be taller, and I bet that lateral branch will be a real branch. I don't ever expect to see Florida results, but I am hoping for improvement.

I am really into whites this year and I enjoyed all of your pictures. I especially enjoyed seeing a "true" picture of wedding gown.
