It’s breathtaking.

The white shrub cascades over the picket fence. The flowers cover the entire bush, rendering no other foliage visible.

On closer inspection, the small white petals are all askew – not limited by notions of symmetry or alignment. They have battled for their place in the sun – and all have won.

And yet what drew me to it, what made me gasp, was the unexpectedness of finding this in a suburban street.

It is like snow in summer.
