Mine are still blooming! It was a wonderful surprise to see pink in December.
ReplyDeleteThis small tree had both new and expired blooms. I truly adore them all.
DeleteLovely. I've never even thought to have a favorite dead flower, but why not!? Now I am even more eager for spring/summer to see what beauty death beholds.
ReplyDeleteI've always felt a sentimental attachment to fading flowers. I hope this small added facet to your observations enhances your spring and summer.
DeleteThese flowers must look outstanding when they're blooming, because they look great when they're dead. I love your offbeat observations, Denise!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michele. ;)
DeleteSublime and stunningly beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
DeleteBut the dead rose, the dead rose?
ReplyDeleteAh... Yes, the dead rose. Also very lovely.
Deletehow beautiful! Camellias don't grow well here in Nashville--I rarely see them.
ReplyDeleteThey are all around the Bay Area and make me very happy. I'm sure you have your own beauties in Nashville.
DeleteWe don't have camellias blooming in January here in PA. Lovely to see yours in bloom- dead or alive. I think dead roses are pretty too.
ReplyDeleteToday I noticed some magnolia trees beginning to bloom. It seems early. Sometimes it's difficult to know what season it is in San Francisco...
DeleteI have a camellia from a long sad drive years ago, hanging in my window.
ReplyDeleteI bet it is beautiful.
