The deer ate everything and the drought-monsoon cycle has the landscape looking like thawed tundra.

They're very pretty!

Seeing this I decided to research Camellia-
And, low & behold, I have a pink Camellia in my back garden!! It was planted before we moved in & I always assumed it was some special sort of azalea- but, it has that wonderful smell of evergreen when cut.

Thank you for the info.!

This year's the most prolific I can remember.

Thanks for the uplifting pictures.

wonderful to live in beautiful surroundings! You're so lucky.
