I know it doesn't really count since they are supposed to bloom in winter, but it just looks so pretty that I had to share. :) This is my Mrs. Charles Cobb camellia. She budded up in late fall but the first bloom just came out a couple of weeks ago. Now they are all opening! I have one other one with buds, but no signs of opening. It wasn't a healthy plant so I babied it all last season just to green it up. It's more green than yellow now, which is good news, but I don't think it will bloom this year. I have one other one that is too young to bloom. My 4th one died this summer. Still not sure why.
