I have to confess J...thanks for visiting everyone!<br /><br />I have to confess Jane, that my knowledge of plant names is very small compared to you guys- but thanks to you/and google, I'm learning!-<br />The long blue shoots with little off-shoot petals are called 'Mona lavender', apparently developed here in Kirstenbosch, the little blue ones looks like a fat lavender head and is very fragrant in a 'coastal african way'- will find out the name or post a pic, sure you guys will be able to identify.<br />We have 3 huge Camellia trees on the estate, the pink one I picked by the cottage, the other white and the 3rd, white/crimson by our neighbours house- next flower Monday I will definitely 'nick' a few! <br />Been trying to grow from cuttings, but the not much success- tricky things it seems.Karen Bekkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05546950816491796108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294591135492198062.post-87028609380691331722011-07-25T14:44:01.136-07:002011-07-25T14:44:01.136-07:00What a lovely camellia!

Love the background painting also.<br /><br />And the striped jug full of daffs and ageratum and ??? reminds me of kinder gentler days in the garden.<br /><br />Thanks for coming to the party!<br /><br />xo Janeflwrjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14905305551745652868noreply@blogger.com
