Camellia wonderland
Most of the winter our camellias have been dormant, shiny evergreen leaves hiding small or non-existent buds waiting for the right conditions. I missed their cheery, bright beauty in the cold months. But it was just too cold for them this winter. Until now, that is.
When I went out to the state park on Saturday, it’s as if some camellia switch had been turned on. Every one of the numerous shrubs, some ten or more feel high along the trail in the gardens, were covered with blooms — pink, white, red, variegated, everything you can think of in camellias. These really are some of my favorite flowers.
What a perfect day to be out.

The Camellia’s this year seem to be spectacular. Was it the cold? I can’t figure it out, but am enjoying their beauty!

My favorite flower!! So beautiful! I will be very happy when spring will finally enter our world here. Maybe next week? But…today…another war started. This time against Libya. Belgian war planes are waiting in Italy to get a “go”. What a world we live in! Warm greetings to you my friend. Hope all is well? havn’t seen you online recently. Love,
