Camellia oracle of winter bliss
You are the promise of springs renewal
Midst the slumbering landscape
Like winters splendid jewel
 |
| Camellia japonica 'Melbourne White' |
Your miracle of life
So delicate and so sweet
You adorn Victorian homes
Upon these earthly streets
 |
| Camellia 'Sugar Dream' |
The beauty of your elegance
Your fragile blossom lingers
The softness of your petals
Pass through my waiting fingers
 |
| Camellia japonica 'Albertii' |
I celebrate your symmetry
Your absolute perfection
Creation of that Life divine
You are but God's reflection
 |
| Camellia x vernalis 'Yuletide' one of my favorites. |
You are a life long lesson
A song that's ever sung
From the deepest winter spell
You bring forth the morning sun

| Camellia sasanqua 'Rose Pendant' |

| Camellia lutchuensis |

| My own darling flower. |
Such a wonderful time to explore Melbourne gardens right now with camellias in singing bloom across our town. This year I am trying to take cuttings to propagate so I have an heir and a spare to take us through the hot summers to come so wish me luck!
