Aww, look at 'em go!
"Black Knight" and "White Dragon" . . . do I detect a theme garden in the making? 
I'm not familiar with White Dragonflower, it looks very interesting,
do you happen to know it by any other name?

Zuzu, the DragonFlower is Physostegia virginiana alba
aka Obedient Plant.
I have two of them just starting to bloom also.

Aha! I should have recognized it after all.  Thanks, Toni.
You could do a little Medievel-themed container garden, Bip.
Maybe get a Maidenhair Fern and a couple of "King Arthur" Delphiniums.

My obedient plant died even though I ordered it not too. I believed it is misnamed.
Nice plants though.
