I don't have many white flowers but here are a couple. Little white fringe waterlily.
White freesia
And the 2nd anemone to flower this season (must have lost the rest)

African Daisy
White Spring Star
Spathyphyllum - Peace Lily - first flower of the season from my big one. It was badly cold affected over winter.
Orange blossom
Little white bougainvillea flowers inside the red bracts

Thanks Ed. I like the little white waterlily too. I forgot to put its name on, it is Nymphoides indica. It's a pity the big spath is looking a bit tatty after winter but it is getting plenty of new growth so won't be long before it is looking good again.

very impressed with your water lily  
My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.

That waterlily is a cutie and easy to grow.
Ed, you sound a little bored. If you don't have anything to do you can come up and do my mowing which I still haven't started  been too busy here

No he didn't Pamela... and I didn't get it finished either... ran out of fuel. Ian bought more home yesterday after work so will have to finish it today.
At least my other waterlilies are starting to show some life at last.

I've just finished the mowing and now off to turn the old bird aviary into a cutting and seed area. It already has a roof and concrete floor so I'm going to cover the sides with a light colour waterproof shadecloth (sort of like a plastic coated shadecloth), and leave the front open for the warmer weather. With mesh all over it, the plants will be safe from dogs, bandicoots, soccerballs, etc.
What white flowers does everyone else have growing at the moment? I'm going to go round the garden later and see what other colour groups I have too.

I was bored Gail, but not bored enough to mow lawns I am down at Canberra at the moment and Floriade is on. Even though I'm not into "flowers" I might go and have a look, time permitting
