The poor Camellias have not been having a good year this year. The bush itself takes the cold even snow but it will not bloom if the temps are below 32 degrees. So far this winter we have had below 32 degrees or lower night after night. The Camellias are suffering. For the last 3 nights we here on our land have had it better than the rest of Tallahassee. B/c it has not been down below 32 degrees HERE.... Other places in town have been down to 28 to 30 degrees but we have stayed above 32 degrees!!!!!!! And look what has happened!!! We have two Camellias blooming!!!!!! YAY YAY YAY Praise the Lord!!!!! It is suppose to get down to 30 tonight but it will probably not here so maybe we will have another bloom or two tomorrow!!!
Love coming your way, Bambi & Fern
I'm envious that your weather is even that warm! We've had it down in the teens and below a few times this winter, and I'm heartily sick of it. :) Beautiful flowers, Fern!
ReplyDeleteI love the first pale pink one. We have several Camellias and they are pretty tuff shrubs in the freezing temps!!

Those are beautiful. I can't wait to see a Crocus pop up. Those are the first blooms we see around here. It will be a while though. Thanks for sharing!

What beautiful camellias - I'm glad I can enjoy them from afar because I am highly allergic to them.
