camellia

Remember that tree that held the baby mockingbirds back in June? Despite my efforts to figure it out, I never knew what kind of tree it was. That is until last week when it bloomed and I realized I have a camellia. A huge, healthy, blooming, Camellia!

I think the happiest gardeners are the ones like me, who really don't know all that much about plants or gardens. Because then little things like camellias blooming where you thought you had a boring overgrown shrub can bring a week's worth of excitement. And a pretty picture.

  1. Look at all the buds on that limb! So glad you were a bit patient with the pruning shears. Is a pretty pink-white colored bloom.

  2. Lucky you! I, too, was surprised last winter when the ugly shrub by our kitchen window put out beautiful white flowers.
