Winter’s Star Camellia
It’s that time of year again, when my one and only camellia bush blooms. When I lived further north, I always wanted a camellia, but they don’t take kindly to really cold winters, so that killed that idea (just like it would have killed the bush, ha, ha!).
When I got further south and we moved to the farm, one of the first things I planted was this Camellia ‘Winter’s Star’ (camellia oleifera). It’s a little hardier, and seems to be doing well here. About a week ago it was in bud.
It didn’t take long until the buds opened up.
There are bud and blooms all over the bush.
This picture doesn’t really do it justice. The sun was a little too bright shining off the blooms, so you’ll just have to take my word for it that it’s a beautiful bush.
At any rate, I sure like it!
