My Camellia bush

I'm enjoying all the winter blooms.

Indoors or outdoors camellia. This is beautiful rose pink. Is it very fragrant?

[Iona60 in reply to TonyiaR7]

I don't know. I guess I should smell it.

It's wonderful, I love all the varieties of the flowers. There is a Camellia Festival nearby that I love to go see all the blooms. I'm looking forward to a garden this year. I'm currently trying an experiment with start rose bushes from clippings.. Some of them are actually starting to sprout. The more delicate "Silver" purple is slow to start. One is trying to sprout and I think the other won't make it. Fortunately, my more than patient hubby is going to help me build a platform in a sunny window to try again with the silvers. Keep posting your beautiful flowers. Spring is around the corner!

Keep trying. I planted 3 knock out rose bushes. They have kept blooming through the freezes.

That is wonderful. The clippings are from my neighbor's roses. The neighbor's roses are very old and their son that inherited them is planning on taking them out this year. I've been blessed to have been able to cut the fresh flowers during the years. I want to continue the roses. I have 2 house plants that I've kept going years, 1 is from a gift arrangement when I had my daughter over 43 yrs ago and the other is from my mom's Christmas cactus that she received when I was about 16. I don't know why I do that, just the idea of it.

That is wonderful to have continued plants from special occasions. I have tried to root pieces from arrangements, but have never had any success. Our two, thirty five year old palm trees, were stuck by lightening last summer. We just had them taken down. It was very sad. They were a major part of our landscape.

Iona60 you are way ahead of us, mine is still in bud. I have one same as yours and a white one, both are full of buds, I just hope that the frost doesn't get them. It's a beautiful photo, I have missed your photos, especially the birds, blessings Jimeka 🦋 🌈 🤗

[Iona60 in reply to jimeka]

Thank you. The frost didn't hurt the Camellia blooms too much. Dinner of them are brown around the edges. I'll post since more bird photos.

It's deceiving, because this beautiful bush blooms in the winter. It's in the 30s here this morning

Iona60 as I gazed at your beautiful camellia picture, I couldn't help but look out the window at the fresh snowfall. Both are beautiful in their own way, but I am starting to yearn for spring blossoms. Thank you.

Sometimes I miss snow, but it passes quickly.
