First Camelia

The camellia is covered in buds and this is the first one to open and flower. Such pretty flowers

I love Camelias and had a wonderful display in my Redhill garden - all different colours. Sadly they don't grow in the soil I have here in Wellingborough!! I miss my spring garden!!

Lovely shot of this stunning bloom. Once they are all ablaze, there in not much to top it ;-)

I agree they have lovely flowers so early in the year. Hope the predicted cold does not get them.

I keep saying I will buy one if these bushes, such an early flower yet they look quite tropical.

You're way ahead of us here in north east Scotland.....but I do have lots of buds and have reintroduced fleece to protect from the 'beasts from the east!!'😄😄
