Camellias in a period Empire Old Paris porcelain vase.
There is always something blooming in the south. All winter long I have had paperwhite narcissus and different types of camellias from my garden to fill Old Paris porcelain vases.

Oh those vases remind me of what my great-grandmother called her jardinieres! Thanks for the blast from the past.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I ordered several camelia bushes by mail! I so love to see the way you arrange them!
ReplyDeleteI WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO GROW CAMELIAS IN MY GARDEN HERE IN Missouri , The winters are too cold. We have a green house in St.Louis at the Mo. Botanical Garden full of them and they are in bloom now, I have to get there and see them. You are so lucky to have them in your yard.Thanks for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteHi Jude your great-grandmother had taste! I love the French word for holders of flowers. Divine Theatre It might be a little too cold up where you are. Are you planing to plant them in the ground or a pot? They can't take snow or temperatures below 20". Hi Richard. Here in Mobile we have thousands in bloom all over the city and most are 15-20 feet high.
ReplyDeleteLucky you to have wonderful flowers all year round and so prettily displayed!
