Camellia Festival @ Eden Gardens State Park. Sat Feb 20, 9-4.

I am thinking about taking Imy up to Eden Gardens for a picnic today... We need to catch some bugs for her pet toad! lol I have three Camellia bushes on my balcony, but only one is in full bloom. My roses are coming back with a passion though, they are all taller than me now!

I'm so glad they're really publicizing this festival. I've always thought the camellias were among the park's best-kept secrets! They have so many varieties, most years you can find camellias blooming for several months at a time of year when not much else pretty is happening with plants. We used to do tai chi in the little tucked-away camellia garden, felt like a world apart.

Camellias and other plants can be bought any day - self service honor system on the south side of the mansion.

A camellia "Snowman" from Eden Gardens State Park is one of the few plants I've added to my yard. It finally has some beautiful camellias. The squirrels often found it in years past and would help themselves to the delicious blooms! Any day is a good day to go to this Florida State Park in Pt. Washington. Thanks to all the friends for this special event. The historic Wesley House is perfect in this lovely setting.
