This camellia is actually climbing the side of my house that is seen first from the drive.
Although it is full of buds, the only ones that are opened are hiding near the wall at the bottom of the plant. I guess they are shy.
See....no visible blooms yet!
I believe that this little bee was hiding from his friends.
Speaking of hiding....do you use plants in your landscape to hide unsightly things?
I just had to sneak in this picture of the loropetalum bloom. It is tiny, but beautiful.
Camellias are one of the South's best plants.
Don't you agree?
Hope you enjoyed the Friday blooms! Have a blessed weekend!

to my tiny flock last week.
they are such a treasure in the winter.
have a lovely day, carla!
Camellias... Beautiful! I always wanted them but never planted them. I don't know why. Your pictures are so inspiring! I love the bee!
I wish I had a green thumb. I'd love to be able to grow anything as beautiful as these camellias.

Beautiful! When we lived in Charleston, we had nine lovely camellias that bloomed in January and February. I think we've seen the last of blossoms here until spring when they will be most welcome!
Best,

Beautiful blooms - especially in November! The camellias are so pretty, but I also love the teeny, tiny flowers!
Have a wonderful weekend!
As far as I am concerned camellias are a winner, their winter colour is so welcome. Yours look like they are thriving. Have a blessed weekend Carla.
I do agree! Only I have this romantic fantasy about Spanish moss... ;)
Carla... I am exceedingly curious about your lovely brick house. There is no red brick here in Switzerland. What style is your house? Stately? Small?
Absolutely gorgeous Carla! What a lovely November post!
Happy weekend

That little bee knows a good thing! Beautiful Camillias are a real southern treasure. I so love them. Just about now I am missing my summer flowers, and would LOVE to have these beauties to enjoy! What pretty pictures!
Thanks for sharing some Southern Flora Hospitality!

Carla,
Enjoyed the camellia photos the last one is awesome! Hope she gets in Duke!
Your Camellias are fabulous! What a sight for sore eyes! Thanks for joining Blooming Friday!
I did enjoy your blooms! The bee is cute. I don't have any camelias and I'm not sure why. We have quite a few loropetalum in our front flower beds. I love that they surprise us with blooms throughout the year. Thanks for sharing! Have a blessed weekend!
Beautiful Camellias. They'll just get better as they age. My favorites are the soft pink ones like you have. I've seen some gorgeous big camellias covered in flowers when running errands. From their size I'd guess they're at least 15 years old.
Carla, so lovely. We only have one in our garden and it blooms around late February/early March and we always look forward to its blossoming.
I can't believe you still have flowers blooming, Carla! I am just a tad jealous, sitting up here in New England! haha Have a wonderful weekend!... Donna
You southern girls still enjoy blossoms in November? So beautiful!!!
:)
Wishing you a lovely week,
Zuzu
I definitely agree, Carla.. they are indeed precious flowers. I love their soft pink color.
I too hide things behind some of my flowering bushes. They make a lovely screen.
Blessings ;)
So pretty, and I love the pink color too. I'm hoping that mine will bloom this year.
