Why is my Exbury Azalea blooming in November? Perhaps it just wanted to spread a little sunshine. This is the third time it has bloomed in 2024. Thank you Mother Nature...I think. What a great early birthday gift!

When the rest of the garden begins to rest, Camellia buds and blooms show how tough they are. Ah, to be a Camellia and quietly show off my blooms while no one is watching. When their eyes focus on the beauty that surrounds them, they notice. #allthingsbeautiful #allaboutthegardenlife #Camellias
