Despite their drawbacks, I love Camellias. For many weeks now, my favourite one has graced our yard with its glorious pink blooms.
It’s so long ago since I planted it that I’m not certain of its name, but I think it’s called Prince Frederick William. It’s a Japonica variety: its large and lovely glossy leaves testify to that.
These flowers are one of the many floral joys of an Australian
mid Winter to early Spring.
Let’s go outside and enjoy it!
