Camellias - A Glimpse of My Home
My camellias are FINALLY blooming!
(They are running a little late, this year.)
(They are running a little late, this year.)
I snipped a couple of the first-bloomers for my main hall. I should have lots of blooms by next week. I have two old camellia bushes (both are japonica variety) that are at least 10 feet in height. I recently planted a new japonica and several sasanqua varieties (sasanqua bloom in the fall/early winter).
These blossoms are from the old japonica bushes.

Can you spot the camellias in these next two photos? (It's like "where's Waldo" amidst all my "stuff"!).......
(The above photo confirms for me that I need a little plant stand -or table -or stool for that plant that is dying by the front door (far left). It is too low and needs a little height in it's final days.)
And here is a glimpse of the camellia bushes out my kitchen window.....
Can you see the blooms I took with my puny camera?
(remember the whimsical painting I made of our kitchen?)
Silver and camellias are just made for each other.....
And "yes" those are the first of my forsythia blooms in the pitcher.
Spring is about to spring in Georgia.
Chatting at The Sky is having a Glimpses of Home party, today.
Have a great weekend!

I also took a little side trip to your etsy shop while I was here (I think that was my ulterior motive for coming by) because your paintings always make me smile. I'm dreaming of buying the apples in the green bowl, the joy Christmas tree, the hydrangeas with the blue background, and the tree line. I'm sorry I can't buy any now, but hopefully things will get a little better and I can buy all I want!
Thank you for painting the joy I see in your work!

I noticed this morning that our blooms have burst open nearly overnight. Our camellia is about 10 feet tall too, but I have no idea what kind it is.
I have a thing for 'sticks' though...
Mostly...I must confess my jealousy not just because you have things in bloom, but because you can even grow camillias...
I'm a southern style gardener stuck in the tundra...
Thanks for sharing!
