A warmer than normal Autumn with virtually no rain fall had me fearing for my camelias. During the last 2 weeks, some welcome showers have brought relief resulting in this, the first of many blooms, which will grace our home.

Lovely and nicely set off against the dark background. My camelias (when I had camelias, in another house) bloomed in June and November...and I remember what a wonderful thing they were in the Autumn!

Camelia Japonica? Is that some Australian movie star or something?

Very nice shot Frank - I love camellias but they will not grow in my climate - too cold. Lovely.

Well, me thinx we got all the rain you didn't! But, it's true, the rain does bring beautiful flowers and Camelias are always so very pretty. Keep on bringing us more of the wonderful Aussie flowers Frank! Will enjoy that. Verena

I'm already pining for Autumn here. A lovely pink bloom enhanced by the dark leaves. Thank you for sharing it.
