Three years ago we planted the Camellia “Yuletide” that promised bright red flowers in the depths of December. Other than a few rather sad looking buds, there were no flowers. We moved it to another spot, still no flowers. Then, a couple of weeks ago, it started budding and flowering - as of this morning there are a dozen blooms. Pen and ink on 6”x8” paper. Wishing everyone at POL a very Merry Christmas!
