There wasn’t an explosion of flowers. You kind of had to look for the flowers on
the bushes, but the camellias were there.
How refreshing it is for a northerner to see flowers actually growing
outside in the middle of January! There
had obviously been a frost because some of the camellias were completely brown
and others had a tinge of brown on their extremities. But unlike a lot of flowers that I am
familiar with, the frosted camellias remained intact and just looked like they
were a brown hybrid of the pink or red flower.
They are beautiful.
Now back home and looking out my window, I see the
brown of old oak leaves and our monster pines in the background…a winter
landscape. But in my mind, I can see the
camellias blooming.

That pretty amazing that they are blooming! I hope they don't get surprised by a cold snap.
I will have to check my peonies to see if they are coming up. That would not be good! :)
Camellias really shouldn't be blooming in January. My mother says her camellias are blooming, too, along with the Japanese magnolias. They just haven't had winter in the south this year and the flowers are confused as a result. Charleston is really lovely. I hope you had a great trip! And right now I'd give my right arm to see any vegetation! Our temperature yesterday was -44!
the dying one is my favorite
