Yuletide / George Adams




This camellia is aptly named . A week from Christmas , and it is blooming.
The freezes we had last week didn`t really effect it.

Daikagura / George Adams


These flowers are SO Bright in color. That my camera can`t reproduce them correctly. It actually comes out way too saturated, so I had to tone the photo down in a photo program.

I have two of these plants. This one is solid in color, where the other one ( which is not blooming) , is pink and white.

Double Rainbow / George Adams



I Love This Plant !
It starts out more pink. But as the flower ages, it becomes more white in the center, yet the outside remains bright pink. So that it has a bi-color effect. I look forward to the day , that the plant is big and covered with flowers.
