Here in California it is Camellia Season. They seem to like our clay soil and warm climate and perform quite reliably every winter. They are like nature's Valentine to us. I ran out this morning and took these photos for all of you. I thought maybe you needed a bit of color to get you through the winter. And even though I didn't sign up for Pink Saturday, I often think of pink on Saturday. Enjoy!
Just gorgeous! I wish I had some in my yard. They always remind me of my MIL; she brought them inside when hers were in bloom and had a dish of them on the dining room table.

What lovely photos - we have camelias in WA too - but they often get a bit frost bitten - or turn brown from too much rain after they open - but when they are blooming nicely they are simply elegant. I love them. Hmmmm don't have one in my yard - wonder if the deer like them? Always a consideration when I plant anything.
ReplyDeleteOh, how pretty, you can still see the morning dew on them! You are a great photographer and these are beautiful flowers. Lucky you!
