What a gorgeous combination of flowers in the photos. Thank you Jacob.
And for the info on growing them. These ones are actually pure white, no
spots, no colours at all. Gorgeous as the coloured ones are, I will not
be able to grow them as these would not stay pure white.

As long as you are planting them in well-drained soil in a north-facing
spot (would be south-facing in the Northern Hemisphere), they will persist
for many years even with winter rainfall. In this Berkeley planting strip
they come back year-upon-year:

do at the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden.
