Camellias in a vase

Our camellia bush needs pruning badly, it’s very large & trailing in the ground. Thought I would cut some of the lower stems off & enjoy them in the house.
Happy St Patrick’s Day.

Three good things:
1. Our new linen bedding has shrunk slightly & now fits the bed much better.
2. We are having a water meter fitted. Supposed to be today but the fitter has covid. One of the boss men came all the way from Carlisle to check out the site. He has all the details where it’s going.
3. Had to ring the plumber & he told us where the mains switch is but he has to come back & move the pipe so the meter can be fitted.
Thankfully we have been assured it will be a very good saving.
The man said people are so afraid of meters but we only know that way to check our water usage.
4. Good job we now know where the switch is to turn the water off.

Your vase is a perfect match for the flowers, and what a pretty shade of pink

Beautiful flowers & vase, nicely captured. We’ve had a water metre for years, cheaper than the old rate system.

Thank you all. I love this vase, Cathy bought it me at Christmas time, she chose the colour especially to go with the kitchen….I’m pleased how lovely they look. Not sure how long the flowers will last but there are loads more!

[Delwyn Barnett]

What a great idea! Prune the camellias and enjoy them inside as well!

I love your shot. I think the water meter has been advantageous for us.

[Issi Bannerman]

A beautiful image, Pat. I hope your water meter work is completed soon to your satisfaction!

These are beautiful. I have never thought of cutting our Camellia for indoors. But it won't be for some time!! We still have the fleece over it as low temperature + frost+ early sun is not ideal!!
