Camellia sasanqua



The first of the camellias to bloom, always in time for Thanksgiving. Each bloom lasts a very short time, but you can see there are plenty of buds to replace each flower as it 'snows' to the ground, forming a carpet of white.

Only recently, I discovered how fragrant these can be...you have to really get inside the bloom!

That tree looks like it belongs right in that spot. Lovely!
