Happy Valentines Week~
I know that roses are the most common flower associated with Valentines Day, but I have to say that I think there is another flower that really represents the day. What flower you ask?????
The Camellia...........
They are red, pink, red and pink, white etc. Look how delicate all the petals are. Just exquisite.This one in the picture above is red although it looks dark pink in this photo
Love the fluffy look of this one. The pink and white looks like candy.
And we have white too
They always start blooming just in time for Valentines Day. All if the camellias in this post are from my garden.
And of course, I had to cut some and bring them in the house. This little blue polka dot vase is getting a lot of use in my house this season. Do you recognize it from other posts?
I apologize for so many photos of these flowers, but they are just so sweet and I LOVE them and they truly make me so very happy.
I hope you all have a wonderful week filled with lots of LOVE and HAPPINESS.

Love your pics of camelias in the blue polka dot vase! They're perfect! We have camelias for Valentine bouquets also. They are amazing plants, we planted them along the backyard and never worry about them! Every February they bloom magnificently! What a sweet and amazing gift from your sixth grade son! Happy Valentine's Day!!
ReplyDeleteI love Camelias. They remind me of my Grandmother. She had many bushes. My favorites were the two that framed her wonderful back porch steps.
ReplyDeleteYour blooms are beautiful, Cheryl!
Mr Sock Monkey's ears are the cutest!
Happy Valentines Day!
