Camellia japonica

Lovely morning, the sun was shining, and no wind. Although by the time I got my act together to go for a walk, the cloud was building. But a pleasant walk around the estate. 

It was as I approached my gates that I saw that there were a couple of the camellias on their way out. The shrub is a mass of buds, although I did loose some to frost the other week. 

Weather forecast does not look too good for north Devon this week as the rain returns. Give me crisp sunny days at this time of year please!
