A Pale Pink Camellia Bloom - Preston

            I took an afternoon stroll in mid August during a beautiful bout of rather spring like weather, and I walked beneath a bower of pale pink camellia japonica blooms.  The way the light fell upon them, shining though their delicate petals, they looked like illuminated Chinese lanterns.

Camellia japonica, known as common camellia, Japanese camellia, Japanese rose or Tsubaki in Japanese, is one of the best known species of the genus Camellia. Sometimes called the rose of winter, it belongs to the family Theaceae.  It is the official state flower of Alabama.   

Melbourne has experienced a colder and wetter than average winter this year, which will hopefully lead to a beautiful spring showing of flowers and blossoms.
