Our winters are warm here. They just are. The temps usually only get below freezing 2 or 3 times each year.
Which I’m really fine with. Our weather lately has been more like early Spring or late Fall. 65 to 70 degrees? Yeah.
And as a bonus we have these beautiful camellia bushes all around the house. I think we have six or so bushes that I pick from (although some belong to our neighbors but they don’t care if snip from theirs too…) and then I place them in vases around the house.
They keep the winters bright and pretty.
Can’t beat that with a stick!
(that’s southern talk for “awesome”)

Stunning. Totally and completely stunning.
Allison @ Alli 'n Son says
Beautiful. And I’m totally jealous. When I woke up this morning it was -1. The high for tomorrow is 3. I would take your weather any day. Expect maybe in the summer.
Kimberly says

Angella says

Ooh, so purrty!!!!!
Lady Mama says
I’m not going to lie – I’m jealous. That spring weather sounds fabulous right about now. I’d take it over the -30 temperatures we have over here (or as I like to call it, “death weather”).

It is going to be a while before I see flowers outside my door! But I enjoyed seeing yours!
deb duty says
These are gorgeous!! I only have one camellia. I really should plant some more. And I never think about bringing some inside. I need to go check by bush to see if I have any left for cutting!
Nancy @ A Rural Journal says
I would love to have these blooms in my garden this time of year! Jealous!
Krystyn @ Really, Are You Serious? says
Wow! Ours did an early bloom, but then it got cold again…not a lot of flowers here.
Kat says
Okay, now you’re just bragging. 😉
We are expecting 1-3 inches of snow today and the windchill is -15. Awesome.
