North/South Divide?

      A. N. Other; whose name escapes me, recently Blipped their Camellia,  sufficiently open that we could easily see its shade of red.
      This, of course, prompted me to take a look @ mine/ours.  How's this for fluent Oirish - It's a long way short of opening.
      I confess to being somewhat unchuffed that it waited a year or several after Alice, before it graced me with lots of flowers; I wonder if I'll manage to count them?
