Camellias are popular, long-lived, evergreen shrubs (or small trees) renowned for their glossy foliage and stunning, rose-like blooms that appear from fall to spring. As staples of Southern gardens, they bloom in white, pink, and red, thriving in acidic, well-draining soil and partial shade in zones 6-10. Here at the condo, the bush in the center garden finished blooming last week. The bush by the walkway from parking to the condo building has been blooming steadily. It is slowing down, and I believe the end of the camellia season is almost here.
Those are quite lovely. I can imagine their fragrance is heavenly!

DeleteBeautiful blooms. You kind of hate for their season to end!
ReplyDeleteI really do hate for it to end; that's life, right?
Delete...how I wish that we had a camellia season!
ReplyDeleteI wish you did too, Tom.
DeleteI always enjoy seeing camellias in posts like this, since we don’t really get a camellia season here in my tropical corner of the world.
ReplyDeleteIt’s lovely to follow along and admire their blooms from afar!
How beautiful these are and how growing them is a tough job for me.

Hard to see them fade after such a beautiful run, but I guess that’s part of their charm.
ReplyDeleteGood sky.
ReplyDeleteYou know you are in the south when you see the Camelia's blooming!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. We have a magnolia tree and while I am seeing buds so blooms yet.
ReplyDeleteCamellias are gorgeous! I haven’t seen the blooming yet. That’s a lovely sky too.
