Here is another early bloomer - Camellia japonica. Some varieties bloom as early as December so they get the stage all to themselves which guarantees attention. As a child I often took them to my teachers. I think that and the roses I brought later in the year pretty much got me my good grades.
Camellias look so clean, fresh and elegant, don't they? At BIL's house Sunday night, SIL had several floating in a pretty glass bowl in the center of the table. A perfectly beautiful way to display them.
Camellias seem to be quite happy here in our heavy clay soil beneath our oaks. All over town I see them blooming in shades of red, coral, pink and white. Are the camellias blooming in your town?

Hi Laura
thanks for the hugs. Spot suspects you are living away from home. The camellia photos are stunning, and just like the camellias outside his home
love Spot
Camellias are lovely, I don't have room for one in my garden, but I do love to look at others. On close inspection the flowers are just amazing. x
Oh, these are so lovely! Thanks for sharing them! I used to bring daisies cut from the fields around our house to my teachers. It never hurts to make someone feel special, does it?
xoxo,
Mary
