Crazy about Camellias!

Amidst all the dull and dreary outside our door, has been a shining star for  most of the winter – our southern favorite, the Camellia.
It makes me smile to look out my window and see all the colorful blossoms in the whites, reds and pinks in the snow, a cold rain and even when the thermometer dips so low the petals shine with a thin layer of ice.
More special attributes of this wonderful shrub: it is evergreen, is available in low-growing, mid-sized and tall varieties and very important to all of us in this area- the camellia is deer resistant, That is worth reporting!

There will be over 100 beautiful in bud and blooming Camellias delivered to Pinecone Perennials on Wednesday, Feb. 16th. Come and appreciate the beauty!
For more fun and informative camellia facts, attend the Twin Rivers Camellia club meeting held on Tuesday, Feb. 15th at 6:30pm at the Riverbend townhall. Wendy will be giving a lecture on "Containerized Camellias". We would love to have you!
