Ode to a Camellia


This spring I have thoroughly enjoyed my camellia japonica tree. I fell in love with camellia trees at Longwood Gardens. Ever since I have dreamed of having my own tree. I was thrilled when we moved south and I found that they grow very well here.  Last spring Jeremiah bought me one for Mother's Day and we nurtured it over the past year. Now it is blooming and I am enjoying every minute of it, seeing as we will be moving north where camellias do not grow.

I LOVE the camellia as well- I often admire my neighbor's. :-) Looking forward to keeping up with you via your blog.
