Fall Flowers

It seems such an odd time of the year for these beautiful flowers to be in bloom! This first picture is from the Internet, because it was so much better than the closeups that I made at my sister's house.



I made the following pictures in my sister's yard on Nov. 11th.

I have always called these Sasanqua Japonica but when I look that up, Google calls them Camellia Sasanqua Japonica.


Either way, they are beautiful when a big bush of them are in full bloom!  This one shrub is probably 15-20 feet tall!!!



Alas, my sister is not very mobile at this time, and she has not ventured out in the yard where this is blooming. 

Today, I'm thankful for my sisters and that they share the beauty of their yards with me.

Gorgeous flowers. They almost look like roses.

Even if your sister is not mobile, must be some way to see these beauties from a window. Since it is still so hot here, my flowers are getting a second blooming spurt.

There are fall blooming camellias around our town right now and they are as pretty as the one you have shown. Hope your sister is up and around soon.
