The Camellia plants are still producing lots of flowers since we’ve not really had any frost or freezing temperatures this Fall. They’re in a well protective area in the community where the winds haven’t been detrimental to them either.

Soon the buds and flowers will demise with Winter, and the Mother plants will bundle up their energy to save for the reappearance of their bright, beautiful ‘jewels’ in the Spring.
