Graciousness

Camellia, Burden Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Camellias always remind me of Southern women, like my mother-in-law, who was unfailingly gracious but strong and principled. She had two beautiful camellia bushes by her front door. I always loved them but didn't fully appreciate them until I tried unsuccessfully to grow them myself!
Lovely camellia just a beautiful colour.

@sunnygreenwood Hi, Anne. Thanks for your comment. I'm not sure the name of the camellia--I took photos of the names and then got mixed up! I just titled the photo "Gracious"--just changed it to Graciousness. Didn't want you to look up a false name!

Beautiful colour especially against the dark green. Nicely placed in the picture.

This is really beautiful! I took a camellia picture today too but mine is a little bit weird.
