Oh, how pretty. Camellias are just gorgeous, and they come in a wide array of hues between white and red. Camellias bring back memories of our Great Grandma Steigenga, who had several camellia bushes growing against her sweet little house when we were kids. On Sundays, after church, we'd often go to Great Grandma's for coffee and cake, and us kids would play outside. Many times, we'd bring fallen camellia blooms into Great Grandma for her to float in a teacup. They were pretty then, and they are just as beautiful now! If you have a camellia bush growing, you can use these sweet blooms en masse or alone to brighten up a table or a corner of the house that just needs a little special something. (If you don't have a camellia bush, you might consider now to be a great time to go to your local nursery to pick one up. You can easily grow them in the ground or in containers).
Camellias really get our vote for one of the most ladylike blooms out there. Now is their peak performance time as camellia bushes are full of pretty flowers. These blooms make for the prettiest little arrangements. You can bunch them together in low-lying vessels (see above) that are otherwise too short for other flowers. Or, you can float a single bloom to make a different kind of arrangement (see below).
