ABC Wednesday: W is for White

We didn't get any of the white winter snow that other parts of the U.S. got last week, so I went back to February of 2012 to a confused camellia that bloomed too early and was dumped on.

    Aww poor baby! When we bought our house in Oregon (in 1971) there were two lovely Camellia bushes by the front door... the very next year there was a rare bad winter with frost and thaw and frost and thaw and it killed both bushes. Waaah...after all these years (and even years since we've sold the house) I still fell bad about that.

    I hope yours survived .... the photo is beautiful.

    Hope the camellia wasn't too weighed down under the snow. They are remarkably resilient and I always think of them as a wonder budding at the time they do.
