I was sooo looking forward to seeing them bloom, but the deer enjoyed them first. There are only a few left and I'll cherish them all the more! <br /><br />That's a great shot of the tree...lots of stories to build around this photo!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-39440545240798616812013-02-17T14:04:13.255-06:002013-02-17T14:04:13.255-06:00Those flowers sure are beautiful.

Surely, I have, but what strikes me about it, other than it's size, is that its foliage is rather thin-looking. <br /><br />I decided to look them up, and found that they grow to 65 feet, are the state symbol of Alabama, and come from Eastern and Southern Asia.

I tried to post at your blog yesterday, but had problems. She is just gorgeous!! <br /><br />I've had "The Fountainhead" for ages and I read a book recently where the main character kept calling her friend 'Howard Roark' in an insulting way. So it made me interested in finding "The Fountainhead" and seeing just what Mr. Roark got up to in that story. LOL! Life is one big circle of books, no? xoMarionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786883679294446945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-30733134346661810032013-02-13T15:16:10.498-06:002013-02-13T15:16:10.498-06:00What a nice Camellia tree!!

We've had one for 25 years (was a gift from my MIL when one of our kids was born), but it's a bush rather than a tree. <br /><br />I've had The Fountainhead on my shelf (unread) for over 30 years!!! I just got around to reading Atlas Shrugged last year! I'll get to it eventually. :) Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.com
