... you're breaking my heart,

you're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Camelia, I'm down on my knees, I'm begging you please
to come home....

Oh, wait a minute, I may have got that wrong?

It always worries me when my Camelia breaks into flower at the beginning of March. It is much too beautiful and fragile to withstand the rigours of an Abernethy Spring. This one was a plant I transported here from our last house on the West Coast and so it must be pretty hardy. Sadly the 10 years haven't been quite so kind to me ;(
