All I need is a tiny reminder of what is to come. These little signs of spring get me through the dark, short days. My Professor Sargeant Camellia japonica has sent out one perfect bloom from all of its hundreds of buds.
On this shortest day of the year, I am grateful for this one bright, red reminder of the beauty to come.
That’s all I need is a little faith in sunshine and spring. We have made it to the solstiice gardeners. It gets brighter from here.
Happy Holidays

My favorite camellia. Mine does really well, but has not bloomed yet.

beautiful; we had our longest day a few days back; the days get shorter from here during our long, and hopefully not too hot summer

Interesting to think of you in a different season at the same time as me.
