Camellias

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”
― Percy Bysshe Shelley

In the midst of Winter, beautiful blooms.

Last week I shared beautiful memories of the 2010 Orchid Show at Missouri Botanical Garden.  This week, I am showing photos of Camellias in bloom during the show, three years ago.

Camellia

ca·mel·lia (k-mly)

n.

Any of several evergreen shrubs or small trees of the genus Camellia native to eastern Asia, especially C. japonica, having shiny leaves and showy rose-like flowers that are usually red, white, or pink.

These photos and the Orchid photos, last week, first appeared at the original Back Porch Musings, February 2010.

Time for a visit to Missouri Botanical Garden.
