LOL, Count youe blessing Kell, your bane could be the chamber bitter I deal with 24/7. Beautiful picture but why is it called white?

I had to look up chamber bitter, Alice. I guess I am lucky 4 O'Clocks bloom so pretty. But I hate them. LOL I am stuck for life with them. I wondered too about why it was called white. I even googled it to make sure it came in colors.
