The Beautiful, Messy Camelia

Since Jim and I now live in a new climate are constantly seeing plants, flowers and such we would love to have in our yard.
We both really wanted camelias because they bloom in the winter here. Who doesn't want to see flowers in their yard in the dead of winter?
After observing what a mess they make, we decided to simply enjoy them in the area gardens nearby.
My favorites are the rose like ones with tons of petals!
When they first litter the ground, they tend to fall off in their whole form which is so pretty.
I would not want to be the gardener who has to pick the petals out of the lily grass below.
I hope you enjoyed our little camelia observation.

 Thank you for stopping by! ~Val

    Beautiful but they produce a flower carpet underneath. I understand that you opted out.

    I think I would be willing to rake up the petals for the joy of having the plant in my garden. And a little mess even is not so bad!

    They DO make a mess but those petals fallen are kind of pretty! I probably would have swept and dried them. I don't seem camelias here much -- I think they're loveyl!

    One year they planted beautiful roses at my apartment building. But the caretakers complained about the work it took to keep all the petals swept up. So next year we were back to non-shedding, non-flowering greenery. Sheesh!

    They are pretty but like you I would not want with the mess they leave behind. Sometimes it is just better to view from a far! :)

    They are so beautiful but they do leave a mess. I can understand why you don't want to be the gardener who picks them up. I think I like the pink camelias the best, but the red ones are also very pretty. Thanks for sharing.

    Camelias are indeed lovely. We don't have any, but enjoy them at the gardens...

    Isn't it interesting about flowers? This happens with our rose of sharon trees. But, I still love them and keep them small. It's when they get big, you have a very large mess to clean up. I guess it's like anything, right? Always work! LOL! Unless you just pot things outside and change them every year??
