Blooming Camellias
Our Camellias are blooming. According to my mom and Aunt Peg, they should be blooming as they are conspicuous “winter flowers” that originally came from Asia. It is nice to look out the window so see the shrub polka-dotted with pink petals and yellow stamens, especially while the remainder of the yard is drab in response to January.
Considering our house is over a 100
years old, the Camellia Bushes are very established with big branches and deep roots. One is almost a tree!
I am so glad they are here.
Upon snipping, I brought a few in to brighten our table last night. I know it is a little ridiculous, a bit over-the-top, and rather “Martha” but it’s 0h-so colorful! I love it! And, so does Beatrice. She laughed and giggled when I brought in the flowers.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog! I meant to get here sooner but it’s open enrollment at make Mine Pink and I haven’t had a second to catch my breath.
Your blog is really charming and Beatrice is a doll!
