Sunlit Camellia 2

The morning sun catches the top of my large Camellia bush, irradiating the outer petals. The sun is so strong, even now in winter, that it produces this other-worldly outer glow.

    Beautiful! I have severe camellia envy now..I have three and they’re all about a foot high and managed one miserable flower between the lot of them!

        Twenty years! Well, at least there’s hope for mine yet – you just bought it another 16 years or so of growing time…😂

    How magical it is just to have the presence of being to allow nature to unfold right before our eyes. I feel so alive in these precious moments. Thanks for sharing this particular fragment of heaven.

    I love both these views of the camellia. Such a beautiful flower. You sure did well planting/planning your gardens for year round beauty to surround you. And we get to enjoy it too! 🤗

      Thank you very much 😀
      Quite difficult to get the front of this flower, as it’s a good 7 feet high! 😀
      And thank you 🙂 Tho things don’t always go to plan – many plants have not survived and others have grown way beyond what the “packet” said; as did my fir bush next to the Camellia, that should have made 1 metre, and is at 3 metres and still going strong! haha 😀
