Camelia Display
Happy Monday! I hope you've all had a lovely weekend. Ours was a perfect mix of morning tea with a friend while Paul spent the morning with Grace, an enjoyable evening at our house with good company, a trip to the local farmers' markets and flea markets and a bit of gardening.
This morning I thought I'd share with you some photos I snapped of our pretty red camelia which is putting on a lovely show outside our front window at the moment. I've been eagerly watching the many buds on this plant and am happy to now be able to enjoy their colour each time I head out the door. It was only after I downloaded these images that I noticed myself in one of the shots :)
What has made you happy this weekend?

ReplyDeletebeautiful! flowers are such a simple joy :)
ReplyDeleteThey are stunning...love the red. Our camelias are pink and white...haven't seen such a brilliant red before.
ReplyDeleteThey are stunning. It's so hard to grow beautiful flowers like that in my crappy rocky soil.
ReplyDeleteAren't camellias wonderful? I have a lovely white one that I've only recently planted and I like that they're very hard to kill!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely rich shade of red! Usually I see them in pink - which is what we have in our back garden. Also had them in my front garden as a child and loved playing with all the fallen petals. Pretty :)
ReplyDeletesounds like a nice weekend you have had and those flower's are gorgeous:) xx
ReplyDeleteLove your camelias Amanda, a beautiful shade of red. Your weekend sounded lovely. I spent mine nursing a sick husband and playing with the kids outside in the beautiful sunshine! Have a great week! xx
ReplyDeleteOMG they're gorgeous.... such a rich red!... sounds like you had the perfect weekend. Watching my boys play soccer this weekend made my heart sing. We also caught the ferry into town and hoovered down some sushi... oh my lads can put it away! A-M xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious colour!
ReplyDeleteAnd is that a massive boat I spy in the background? The weather is getting there for fab times on the water. Bet you're excited! x

Sounds like a great weekend Amanda. I had to work but now have a litle over a week off work. YAY! Your camelia is gorgeous - the blooms are like rosettes.
ReplyDeleteIS that your/Paul's boat in the background?
Love camelias! Yours is divine. Hope you are well. Emma xx
ReplyDeleteMaxabella & Sarah - yes that is a boat in the background but it's a family boat that Paul, his brother, his cousins and uncles put in for. However, lately it seems to have been living under our carport :)
