Last Call on the Camellias

[AlanLichty]

The fantastic blooms on our backyard camellia don't last for long and the petals are piling up on the ground now. This is a shot from last weekend right after some overnight rains.

C&C always welcome.

Hey Alan....Just to help you understand how much I appreciate looking at your beautiful flowers here are three images of my yard. It was -15C overnight and is now -3C with beautiful sun helping to move us toward spring.

Thanks Trent - sorry for the ROFL response but there is quite the gap between your driveway and our gardens. The planter pot speaks volumes as do the piles of snow at the edges of your driveway. Those look like they will still be there for several more weeks.

Just for the sake of contrast I ran out and grabbed this shot of some tulips in my yard a few minutes ago

Already on the ground? That was fast Alan!

You still have quite the snow piles!

Thanks Jim - I knew this from last year and made sure I grabbed shots while I could once all the buds came out. There are still some fresh blooms coming out but the ground around the bush is pink now.

It is hard to believe that under all that snow there are tulips just waiting to cooperate. I'll see if you still remember what tulips look like when ours come out in May!
