The Camelias on Tamborine mountain are delightful to see at the moment. The climate and the more acidic red soil seems to be perfect for growing them. We have a Camelia japonica growing at the side of our garden seat, the flowers of which are the 2nd photo down, we just love the compact form of the Japonicas and the attractive deep green foliage which doesn't seem to attract many pests. The final shot was taken at an open garden scheme plant sale at the Mt Cootha Botanical Gardens. This was a display table on the stand of Camelia Glen Nursery , a specialist camelia nursery on the Sunshine Coast. The array of different flowers was quite amazing.

Hi Roy...just popping in to say hello to old friends and checking blogroll links for my new blog Barkley Blah!.
So good to catch up with what everybody has been doing while I've been away...
You know, I believe I have seen the white spider to your yellow one (I am on the Gold Coast). I have never seen a totally white spider before so of course I didn't go anywhere near it (I know about the funnel webs too..) now of course I am ruing that I didn't go for the camera.

Hi! I wonder how long Camelia's stay fresh after being picked from the plant itself. They looks so good in numbers.
