Camellias in the Snow

By Ms Sherry

East Central Alabama had a beautiful snow fall on Sunday morning March 1.  The garden virtually became a winter wonderland, almost seeming that a pastry chef came in and iced the leaves and flowers with a fluffy white frosting. How much damage was done to the daffodil, the pansy, and the camellia blossoms will probably become evident as the temperatures rise later this week. It was glorious while it lasted, which thank goodness was just briefly. But watching the snowflakes made for a wonderful winter diversion. Among the photos I took yesterday are these two of the camellias frosted with snowflakes.
