Camellias In Bloom In Our Central Florida Garden

Camellias are popular, long-lived, evergreen shrubs (or small trees) renowned for their glossy foliage and stunning, rose-like blooms that appear from fall to spring. As staples of Southern gardens, they bloom in white, pink, and red, thriving in acidic, well-draining soil and partial shade in zones 6-10. 

 

If you visited me before on my old blog, you probably know how much I love flowers.  I've updated my header with a floral graphic similar to part of my old blog's header. What do you think?

Here in central Florida, we are in zone 9B which is semi-tropical.  Our two camellia bushes get buds in December and bloom late January, February, and into March. I look forward to the short time of flowers in winter. The freezes we had two weeks ago, made the buds brown and the flowers too.  Now we are back to beautiful white flowers.

Some homes might open into a small space or hallway that leads directly into a staircase. Or in other instances, the entryway has little to no room. Let’s look at ways to create the feeling of an entry.
