You are so ...I look forward to your pictures soon. You are so right too Of course it IS an azalea and NOT a camellia. I did the post in a hurry and obviously had a senior's moment. I do have a camellia which is quite old, stands about 8 feet tall and is covered with the most beautiful pale pink flowers every year. The only camellia we've ever had success with. I also have a gardenia that flowered about 5 years ago but never since although a quite healthy plant. With gardens somethings just grow and others just don't. lolMimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-24820216925616266902012-08-25T18:00:34.998+08:002012-08-25T18:00:34.998+08:00I also grieve that I cannot do all that I would li...I also grieve that I cannot do all that I would like to in the garden. Like you I went for a wander earlier this week and took photos. I will put them up in a day or so. Forgive me, that I thought that very pretty pink plant at picture 7 was an azelea rather than a camellia. I was filled with envy as I scrolled down because I have a brown thumb where they are concerned. And regardless of the name, it is a very pretty plant indeed. The ghost of camellias/azaleas past perhaps? Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
