First Winter flower appears - I'm thrilled
A couple of days ago, a single Camellia appeared in my garden.
It's always a great thrill to see the Winter flowers start to bloom and they liven up some dreary Winter days.
Here is my first Camellia this season. It's such a pretty colour too.
taken "from down low' (for the June photo a day prompt)
It rained this morning so the raindrops are still clinging to the flower.
This is the moment
This is the time
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme
Give me this moment
This momentous moment ..
(from Jekyll and Hyde)
All my plants have lots of buds on them so soon they will be covered with flowers - can't wait for those moments.

Thanks Jyothi - I'm waiting for them to bloom too.
DeleteHello Suzy,
ReplyDeleteA gardening SWS is always a joy for who loves Camelia as I do. Well that's funny, because precisely last week, I was commenting a post about june being roses month, and I confessed that since Dumas novel, I was totally crazy about camellias. Thanks for this gift.
All the best

Thanks Grace - glad you enjoyed my Camellia. It is such a pretty flower and it does remind me of a rose.
DeleteWhat delightful photos! I can imagine how you feel, looking at the flowers bloom!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vidya. Flowers always put me in a good mood. They look so happy.
DeleteI love camellias ... they are plentiful in my home area of south Louisiana but it's too hot here in Texas for them to do well. I enjoy them when I go "home"! Thank you for sharing.
