I am grateful for the winter blooms of ‘White by the Gate’, Camellia japonica.
If it were not for the nip in the air I would swear it was spring by looking at it in full bloom.
This steadfast bloomer is striking with its dark green, glossy leaves and pure white, double blooms.
Could it be any more beautiful?
I love this lovely “rose of winter.”

Yes, I think camellias are so beautiful and special as they bloom in the winter. Your White by the Gate is ahead of mine.

I was lucky to take these pics the night before a hard freeze turned the blooms brown. Stay warm Knight. Hug Jackie.
