Ooooo...love camillas but my favorite is a gardenia! We can’t grow those here but I saw lots of them when we lived in Georgia. I never knew anything could smell so wonderful!
I love gardenias, too, but ooooooh they don’t like me. LOL
And roses are really bad. Make my nose and throat close up if I get too close to them. Drat!
There are a few buds opening on the camellia bush now. This one has pink blooms and they’re so pretty.
We’re almost too far north for the bushes but I’ve managed to keep this one going. We had a couple of cold, cold winters that I thought would take it out but it’s been a trooper. This warm winter has made it come back beautifully and it’s loaded with buds.
