I know at some point winter will get here for real.<br /><br />Gail,<br />How appropriate for your word verification.<br /><br />Chris Bonney,<br />Thanks!<br /><br />Randy,<br />The camellia does resemble Kanjiro, only twice the size.<br /><br />James,<br />You do have a home in the south, south of NYC that is.<br /><br />Lea,<br />Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you had a good Christmas too.<br /><br />Donna,<br />I am glad you enjoyed the post, and I hope that your Christmas was also good.<br /><br />Carolyn,<br />My best bet on the iris is 'Harvest of Memories', but I am not sure. This landscape is managed by the city crews and there are several places around town where this iris has been planted.<br /><br />Kelly,<br />Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you had a merry Christmas as well.<br /><br />Sybil,<br />We are still a little warmer than what could be considered seasonable, but I am not complaining.<br /><br />Joan,<br />I have been enjoying your Christmas in Charleston posts. It was always a special time of year down there for me.<br /><br />bfish,<br />This planting is right next to the Elizabeth River, so I am thinking it may have been a degree or two warmer when we had our first freeze, otherwise much of it would be mush now.<br /><br />Hanna,<br />I can only take credit for the photos. The garden belongs to the city. Thanks for stopping by.<br /><br />Tina,<br />Yes the camellia was huge. I hope your holidays were happy as well and that you have a good new year.<br /><br />LesLeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-30161293770463985572011-12-28T19:40:04.048-05:002011-12-28T19:40:04.048-05:00That IS quite a large camellia.

Either way, congratulations and thanks for allowing me to enjoy your blog.<br /><br />I too have fairly large Camellias but their colors are not quite a vivid as yours.<br /><br />Happy New Year 2012!Hanna at Orchid Carehttp://orchidcare.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-18985735386447187192011-12-26T06:59:27.783-05:002011-12-26T06:59:27.783-05:00Thank you for sharing -- I wish our setcresea here...Thank you for sharing -- I wish our setcresea here in Petersburg were as undamaged as that you pictured (we've had many nights in the 20s). The blooming impatiens (more sheltered) still persist, loropetalum is blooming like crazy, and most of the C. japonica Feb-Mar bloomers have flowers -- as well as all of the camellias that ordinarily bloom now. The flowering shrubs are providing delightful Christmas bouquets.bfishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-18082915263332669242011-12-25T22:16:17.971-05:002011-12-25T22:16:17.971-05:00Beautiful!
