CAMELLIAS

Camellias bloom continuously from October to May.
In summer they spring into background to form an evergreen screen.

These little buds are ready to open:

Camellias are beautifully sculpted
and very gentle.

Thank you Inda, for these
lovely gifts on this 1st day
of June.
Blessings be...

YE ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!

The Camellias' petals swirl
to touch a satiny centre.

Dear Barbara,
thank you.
Here is a bright red beauty just for you:

Here is a brigt pink pair,
basking in the morning sun:

Enjoy the beautiful Camellias!

These Camellias are absolutely as beautiful as roses.
I remember when I lived in France, we had them also in some parts.

Thank you very much,
Gisele

Wow, dear Inda, I love camellias too of course .... and how can I resist bringing in one too (one?)

Loving you, have a wonderful Sunday afternoon.

For a change a painting. Isn't it very lovely too?

Much love, Margherita

Thank you Gisele,
and thank you Margherita;
your Camellia is so incredibly beautiful.
Bring us whatever you can to add to this thread.
This is so magnificent.

Now I have one more, but it is not quite as grand, but still beautiful.

I just saw your second beautiful picture,
we must have been posting at the same time.

These are absolutely beautiful.
I grew up in England, and these pictures bring back fond memories. We had a lot of Camellias in England, where the climate is a bit warmer than where I live now.

Thank you,
Sue

Thank you Inda and Margherita,for all the beautiful pictures.This is absolutely magnificent.
Camellias are truly equal to roses, as you said, they are the roses of winter.

Sincerely, Christina

Charming pink beauty
you stir my longing for love
meanwhile I kiss YOU.

This one really leaves me speechless ...

Much love, Margherita

Dear Margherita,
The beauty of your Camellias renders me speechless.
Such priceless additions to this thread.

Sending you hugs and a kiss,
Inda

Dear Margherita,

These are not Camellias,
but they are Margheritas and a kiss!!

Now I think I will finish the evening with
one more Camellia.

You are all like the most beautiful flowers to me who inspire me and bring joy to my heart.

Thank you so much

Love,

Lilie

I had to come back to this site.
These Camellias are really beautiful.

Thank you very much.
Gisele

You are all very kind. I am glad that you are enjoying the Camellias. Special thanks to Margherita for adding so much beauty to this thread.

Here is a little Camellia bud kissed by the sun
for all of you.

These flowers are just lovely.

Dear Sylvie,
I am glad you like the Camellias.
Here are some especially for you.
This was photographed by a friend.

I love these too. Gosh, I'll have to
study up on my new dig. camera from my
girls--to take pix like these and learn
how to upload them into these forums.
Thank You,
Bless you...

Only the pure in heart shall see God.

These are all so beautiful I had to come back and admire them before we start work.

Sincerely,
Sue

They are really all so beautiful.
To look at these flowers is a nice way to start a busy day.

Thank you once more.
Vicky

Thank you again,
and Barbara, I don't know how to download anything on any other board, but here it is very easy. I have all these pictures in
'My Documents', so just click the little icon on the top right when you reply and you can download from your documents and files etc.

Here are some jolly Camellias, dressed up in their stripes for a midwinter party:

So beautiful.

Love,
Sylvie

Winter is coming to an end, so I thought I will bring back the roses of winter once more. They don't grow outside in our climate because it is too cold for them, although this winter has been unusually mild and they might have survived.

Love,
Vicky

Thanks for bringing back this lovely post.

Camellias are beautiful.
I tried growing them indoors but did not have too much success.Here the winters are too cold to grow them outdoors.

Love,
yoko

Thank you Vicky for bringing back this post. I had completely forgotten about it, and thank you Sue and yoko for your replies.

Camellias are lovely, and I have also tried to grow them indoors but they did not last too long either.
I get them seasonally because they are so beautiful.
