WHITE IN THE FRELINGHUYSEN ARBORETUM'S GARDENS

Although not actually a color, white in the garden can create a sense of alm, serenity and light, especially when paired with green foliage as a backdrop. White can brighten up a dark spot in the garden, give your eyes a rest and can be seen clearly in the evening, providing a crisp, cool, clean look.

Here are just a few of the white flowers blooming at the Arboretum today: A bunch of white Siberian Irises, a white Bearded Iris and a Paeonia suffruticosa cv. Hatsugavasu (Tree Peony).
