Our Camellia Sinensis Tea Plant in a Vase

What a HAPPY feeling for having fresh garden flowers in a vase!
We're that far again... Even if the weather is not quite spring like.
Too much wind still but sunny, blue sky. 
Love the sight of this Camellia Sinensis in the spring.
It blooms along the wired fence and visible from our Veranda.
A small Baccarat vase makes them look pretty!
Wishing you all a Happy Weekend!

Thanks for your visit.

      Yes, those perfect looking Camellias do work soothing for the soul and lift up our spirits.
      Such a reward for having them indoors and dreaming of warmer days.
      Tomorrow night again we will have some frost. Hope we will not lose our Japanese magnolia blossoms.
      Hugs,

    1. Dearest Giga,
      Because they are not quite in plain view from where they grow, it is always best for bringing them inside.
      But oh so hard to photograph during dark days...
      Sending you hugs,
      Mariette

  13. Prachtige bloem die Camellia...lijkt wel een kunstbloem Die meeldraden springen er echt uit,en dat die al buiten bloeit...jullie kunnen dus al duidelijk gaan genieten van de lente...

    1. Beste Marian,
      Ja de foto is genomen in de morgen maar de vorige dag tegen de avond was het te donker voor foto's. Toen waren de meeldraden nog mooier! Het is niet echt een snijbloem omdat ze snel slap worden maar zoiets moois wil je gewoon in huis halen!
      In december hebben wij al volop Camellias en we hebben veel variëteiten. Deze vind ik wel het mooiste om z'n meeldraden.
      Dank je voor de felicitatie, het jaar is al weer volop aan de gang. Nog wat bijzondere klussen en dan hopen we samen wat meer tijd te krijgen om te relaxen en te genieten.
      Liefs,
      Mariette

  14. Olá Mariette!
    As camélias estão belíssimas, em um vaso muito bem arrumado. E a foto está igualmente bela.
    As flores brancas são delicadas, femininas e simbolizam a paz.
