We’re finally getting some rain again here in the city (and 58 °F/ 14 °C).
Here’s a spectacular camellia flower that I found a few blocks from my house. I have a camellia shrub in my front yard as well, but its flowers are not quite as big these!
a weblog of whereabouts & interests, since 2010
That’s a picture of a Camellia.
And yes, you have them in your front yard.
It’s a evergreen shrub from Asia with early, short lived, blooms.

Rhody’s will be blooming in May
Thanks for the correction, Paul! I had to correct the heading of my post as well, LOL. Maybe the rhododendron garden at Weyerhaeuser where I used to work, makes me think every flowering bush is a rhododendron!
It makes sense. Both plants are evergreen and flowering in the spring:)
Wow, beautiful picture of a robin with a huckleberry in it’s mouth by the way!
Thanks! Yes, I was a little lucky to get the picture!
