With this milder weather this winter, the poor plants/flowers don't know what to do... Our Roses always go dormant in winter--but not this year. They are trying to GROW....
I have a blog friend who raises chickens. Her chickens are having 'babies' --as if it is spring... Crazy year!!!!!
Enjoy your Camellia!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
How wonderful!
we've got early flowers here too
What a treat - they sound like a garden version of the Glasonbury Thorn. Your Cornish neck of the woods does seem to have its own idea about seasonal behaviour doesn't it :-)
Betsy from Tennessee:Everything is so confused including me! Thanks. :)
Mitch Block: It really is glorious.
Crafty Green Poet: yes but this seemed just a bit too keen!
Lady M.: Glastonbury Thorn will check that one. Cornwall does have it's own micro climate and The Isles of Scilly is even milder.
John Gray: When I saw the Camellia it just said write a poem about me! so I did!!
How lucky you are to have camellias. I love them. We don't get them up here until about June and then only for a couple of weeks. Enjoy them and hope they come again.
Doris: It is a beautiful show and so unexpected so I will enjoy this bush and hope a frost doesn't come to spoil it.
Goog day!
Thank you for your comment my blog.
Wellcome again!
seijastiina: Welcome here.I hope you can understand my poems and I am sure some will be easier. See you again.
I see John Gray commented. am sure your poem helped him feel a little better. He has been feeling unwell. He is a lovely man & one of my favorite bloggers.
Happy Weekend!
Ina in Alaska;If my poem helped John feel a little better then that in turn will make my happy. I will send him a message in a min.
Oh wow, what picture! I am seeing your Camellia's in bloom. Beautiful poem! Have a great weekend!
eileeninmd:It really looks lovely glad you can picture it. :)
There are so many blooms out now that shouldn't be.
Cherry Pie; Cornwall is always early with the spring flowers but this really is too soon as everything will be spoilt by the frost and it seems unlikely that we will get away without any frost at all.Pleased you liked it.
Thanks for visitng 'Living in Exile' Mdm Cuby. Lucky you to enjoy camellias - we had a magnificent tree/shrub at home in Sydney.
I never record where I live by name because I hope, probably erroneously, that by so doing I will not attract attention from the censors and (constant) surveillance. If you look at your Audience stats on blogger, it should tell you where I am - there won't be many.
I also write poetry which, if it interests you, you can find on my other blog, Written in Exile'.
Best wishes, Isabel
Isabel Doyle:Welcome here. I envy you your Australia summer as here it is quite cold today!I am off to look at your poetry today or tomorrow.
What a nice treat to see in January!
Lisa@Two Bears Farm: It was and still is. :)
I live in the midwest. My tulips are coming up. Good lord...
Maria:I noticed strawberry flowers out two days ago, I'm confused no wonder the wildlife is.
