First bloom

Opened this morning.....well why not on such a lovely day.
I do love when these beautiful flowers open on the Camelia. It's not supposed to thrive on east facing wall but there has only been one year we weren't 'in the pink' 😄
Three good things
1. Wall to wall sunshine.
2. Fun outdoors with the children
3. Pink on the Camelia at last.

Am always amazed at these stunning flowers & how soon they come out, even in the frost sometimes!

I had one of these in the garden in our old house in the suburbs of Paris. I loved it. I wonder how it's doing this year. Nice capture Sarah.

Thank you for your lovely comments. Looking forward to lots more buds opening but when flowering time is over we plan to radically prune Miss Camelia as she has grown too tall, wide and deep.....any more growth and she would reach the bedroom windows!!
