The First Camellia - Oops - AZALEA

There is a camellia - 00ps - AZALEA flowering in our garden. There are only a handful of flowers on the bush so far. It seems very strange to see it flowering at this time of the year when I am more accustomed to see them blooming in the spring.
The grape harvest is moving apace here in Marlborough. Harvesting goes on both day and night. Good friends of ours were expecting the harvester to arrive on their property at 5.am this morning. That meant an early start for that particular family.
