Coy camellia
clings to life everlasting
with joy it knows will end.

I noticed this camellia hedge outside the dental office. It was starting to rain again.
In 1941, the camellia was adopted as Sacramento’s official flower. Sacramento is the Camellia Capital of the World and celebrated their 100th birthday this year, 2024.
In honor of this anniversary, I bought a camellia plant for our house…a pink one called Spellbound.
Nice on Black.
A stunningly beautiful close-up to capture that rich red against the green foliage (and even more stunning on black!) Fav! ("outside the dental office"...I hope this appointment brought you relief- finally. xo)
Thank you. I think I found a good place to plant the pink Camellia that I bought called Spellbound. One day, I hope it looks this pretty!
