Waiting for .....camellia

Every year my husband tends to his camellia tree hoping for beautiful blooms in March. However it was unseasonbly cold in Kaohsiung these past 2 months. The camellia buds started to open up a few days ago.













This is the first bloom. There are at least a dozen buds waiting to bloom just in time to add a splash of color for the Chinese Lunar New Year!!
