Blooming lovely!

Babysitting the grandchildren today, so staying at their house overnight, which is my mother's bungalow now transformed into a 3 storey house..

Many years ago someone gave my mother a camellia. For a number of years it did not flower, so she told it that if it did not flower that summer she would dig it up. That summer the bush was covered in flowers - who says talking to plants doesn't work?! It is the same every year now, smothered in these lovely pink blooms. I have 2 camellias which have never flowered - they will be getting the hard word!!
