What's better the camellia, below, or the dried hydrangea blossom at its left?
Checking on a flagstone terrace project yesterday the camellias stole my attention. These, above/below, on view from kitchen & master bedroom.
Walking on gravel past my camellias in bloom. Life's abundance & I feel it.
How can anyone live outside the camellia zones?
Professor Sargent, above, is 2 stories tall. Sitting in my antique wicker chair inside the breakfast room I look up into his blossoms. Over 2 decades now.
Blowsy. Adore this phase.
If I had stamens like this, above, I would show them off too.
My blowsy ballerina, above, is peaking as the azaleas are molting.
