No, I don't know anything about the white one. Never even heard of it before. But I did use to grow the regular one. It was a perfect bush. Wish all roses could be that healthy and nicely shaped. Yes, her blooms lasted a nano-second, but they looked nice and had large petals. I had to remove her long ago because she quickly outgrew the limited space I had for her ... way back then I didn't know you couldn't trust the sizes stated by the vendors when you live in the south. I still grow a smaller sized descendant of Carefree Beauty ... 'Thomas Affleck', hybridized by the Michael Shoup organization at The Antique Rose Emporium. Carefree Beauty was a good momma, imparting much of her toughness to her offspring. Randy

Hard to believe anything could overtake and kill a hosta but I see your goutweed just about managed it. What a plant! - signed, a hater (but mostly of the green kind)

That is a great shot. That butterfly looks like the one in my pic. I have two butterflies. One is white and the other black like yours. Both the white and black one have the same pattern on their rear, where it is blue and orange. I suspect they may be a male and female of the same species; but, I could be wrong. The only draw back to mine is they weren't in such a beautiful setting. I shot mine in White Sulfur Springs in West Virgina. Where was yours taken? I know butterflies have a tremendous range. It doesn't look like anything that delicate can fly as far as they do, or go anywhere that the wind doesn't force them to go.

Sorry, I should have explained better. The inside rows of leaves are mostly white. Only the outside leaves are green, and mostly all green with no white. It is in a white pot, so when I look at it, I mostly see pure white with just a few green leaves. It is a new plant for me, so I am not going to root leaves. I will just let it grow on its own to see what it does. It had a few blooms, but once I removed them, the effect is mostly of pure white. Joanne
