It happened in the blink of an eye.Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-45785460243456984352012-01-09T21:03:15.660-05:002012-01-09T21:03:15.660-05:00Eleanor - I do too!

Hate to throw out flowers. <br /><br />Rachel - Thank you! I saw that it was the state flower when I was googling around. Also refreshed my memory that it is the tea family. <br /><br />Kate - I think that too and hope that I am still good lookin' when I am half dead...heheh.Charlestonjoanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590582268028752174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-27873275031833596262012-01-09T14:22:06.300-05:002012-01-09T14:22:06.300-05:00In full bloom or fading, they are beauties.

Sort of reminds me of humankind, but since I'm in the flower of womanhood, I guess I don't have to worry about fading beauty!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223040482420514208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-79512472531973581372012-01-09T10:13:35.244-05:002012-01-09T10:13:35.244-05:00Oh, those are so beautiful, even in death!

They give me hope of spring! - They changed our state flower in Alabama to the camellia, even though it isn't indigenous. I guess they felt that having the golden rod as our state flower was a slap in the face to all of the people who suffer from allergies because of it.Rachelhttp://www.theorangebeachdaily.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-7621916030805336982012-01-09T05:17:53.267-05:002012-01-09T05:17:53.267-05:00They are lovely, for true!

So that's the excuse I use when I'm too lazy to throw out cut flowers that are past their prime.LeeAnnehttp://facebook.com/leeanne.wardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-66405703986824818692012-01-09T03:08:02.788-05:002012-01-09T03:08:02.788-05:00I rather like the post cold snap color of the came...I rather like the post cold snap color of the camellias.
