Today ’s exposure are from Irvin Faria in Carmichael , California . We ’ve feature Irvin & Pauline ’s wonderful garden so many prison term – HERE , HERE , HERE , HERE , here , here , here , here , here , andhere . Today they ’re sharing some gorgeous camellias they ’ve gather through the twelvemonth , in bloom now in their garden .

Irvin says,“Early bound - like weather has rouse the camellia flora ( tree now ) in Pauline ’s garden . However , rain is forecast for the next few days . accordingly , before the blossoms are damaged by the wet atmospheric condition we wanted to share the unparalleled beauty of the camellias . Here are a few case from the dozens of camellias in the garden we conceive might be of interest .

“ We live on in Carmichael , California , a suburb in the Greater Sacramento metropolitan country . Through the geezerhood Sacramento has become known for its camellias . The first camelia , import from Japan , reached Sacramento February 7 , 1852 . In 1910 a move was go to make Sacramento known as “ The Camellia Capital ” . In 1941 Sacramento adopted the camelia as the urban center ’s official flush . The Sacramento Camellia Society , born in 1943 , fructify a goal in 1950 of having metropolis residents plant 50,000 fresh camellias . To action this goal local nurseries and store agree to betray camelia plants for $ 1.50 each .

“ While work near the California State Capital ’s camellia gardens in the 60 ’s , my wife , during lunchtime , gather fall camellia seedpods then nurtured them to germinate in our greenhouse . Young plants were then engraft throughout the garden . to boot , over the yr seedpods dropped from works and bourgeon beneath them . The novel plant were then graft to other garden arena . The reward of her efforts can be go through in these pic of the frail beauty of camellias . ”

Beautiful , as always , Irvin . Thanks so much for communion !
