  1. My father in law gave me a beautiful one years ago and it didn't live a year. I was so disappointed. I sure could use some of those blooms right about now.

  4. Hi Susan,
    Oh those camellias are so pretty. I had three big shrubs, and they ALL died. Planted in the wrong place, I think. I would love to have some pretty variated ones like that pink and white....love a double blossom one too, in white I think. Guess I should head over to the garden center soon! When this storm subsides....
    Thanks for hosting outdoor Wed., come see the stormy ocean!

  6. I did not know they bloom now! We have had so near zero forever that I'll be lucky if anything survives this! I have not been here in a while because I have not been outside, lol!! Love the camellias, and the "Fried Green Tomatoes" post. Amazing photos...

  25. Dear Susan, I love camellias and yours are breathtaking. I once lived in Gainesville, Fl. while my dh finished college and while taking a walk in my neighborhood, I came across a huge number of camellia bushes in someones back yard. A walking path was behind his home. I saw the most gorgeous camellias there. As I was admiring them, an elderly man came out to say hello. He was famous for his camellia garden and had been written up in the paper, which I just happened to read, a couple days before. We became good friends and he gave me camellias for my home the rest of the time they bloomed that winter. You just brought back a memory I haven't thought about in years. That was in 1963. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous camellias and for the memory too.

    Hugs, Jeanne

  45. We have pink trees here in our condo that are in bloom that normally bloom in the spring so perhaps it is Spring and I do not know it:) I had no idea there was a southern groundhog. I only thought it was the groundhog called Punsatonky Phil (I have no idea how to spell it) from PA:) I got a laugh when I read this southern groundhogs name...too cute!
