White Wednesday

The Four o'Clock flower Mirabilis has colonized all the vacant plots in my suburb. But it is rare to find a white one.
Vinca is a native wild flower which flowers profusely with little care. Alkaloids from Vinca are used in the treatment of lukemia.

Butterfly Pea is usually found in blue. I saw this white one growing on a fence.


A white butterfly was hovering over the bright Calendula flowers.



This is the wild Jasmine which I saw last month in a campus in Mumbai. These flowers are very fragrant.

    In Parsberg's time this was a position advocated by Nuremberg's opponents amongst the territorial princes New Jordan Shoes 2020 and rural nobility, and from the Enlightenment onwards a more rigid version of this dichotomy was projected back onto the late Middle Ages.
