The camellia

From now till spring we will be seeing a succession of camellias flowering and I just love them.  I have three camellias in pots because I have not decided where to eventually plant them.  I have this one sitting on the back porch so I can admire the flowers from inside my warm house when it is wet and miserable outside.  The pink does lift the spirit.
This pink is a lighter shade.  I may just leave these plants in their pots and prune them to contain their size.  Even when not in flower the glossy green leaves of the camellia create a lushness in the garden.
