{Our Camellia Japonica Pink Perfection}

One more of Our Camellia blossoms I love to share with you. This time it is our Camellia Japonica Pink Perfection. One cannot have enough of these pink beauties in any winter garden! We certainly do enjoy them. 
Such a beauty and even the bud is looking very pretty.
There is someone hiding on that pink petal... probably that very insect ate from the leave?
Kind of folding the lower petals backwards...
No fragrance - only pure beauty!
Very romantic flower for winter time!
Thanks to Paola from the blog Laboratorio di Zia Polly for mentioning the romantic book, ballet and movie:
THE LADY OF THE CAMELLIAS or LA DAME AUX CAMÉLIAS by Alexandre Dumas

  6. E' un fiore delicato, bellissimo, dai colori tenui. La Camelia mi riporta subito alla mente il famoso romanzo di Alexandre Dumas "La signora delle camelie". Un abbraccio. Paola

    1. Cara Paola,
      Grazie mille per dirmi circa questo film storico. Anche la Eleonora Duse ha fatto quel ruolo. Abbiamo un amore per l'Italia e anche Eleonora's ultimi 4 anni ha vissuto a Asolo dov'è sepolta. Hotel Duse è ora...
      Baci,
      Mariette

  7. Liebe Mariette,
    wundervoll sieht sie aus - ich habe auch eine Kamelie in rosa - aber leider
    schwächelt sie - die Blätter sehen oft krank aus und es fallen schon die
    Blütenknospen ab - der Gärtner wusste mir auch nicht zu helfen -

    liebe Grüße- Ruth

  9. Deze bloem is echt fantastisch en zeker in deze periode. Geen last van de sneeuw?
    Maar je zit natuurlijk in een subtropisch gedeelte.

    Fijn weekend,
