Camellia's

There was a time when the Camellia was celebrated in The Big Tomato with flower shows, folk dancing at Memorial Auditorium and other civic celebrations.

With some sun and warmer weather, Camellia's are exploding everywhere.  There are so many to see, but I was struck at a beautiful covering to walk on during a Saturday morning excursion with Lindsey.

BTW - Sacramento shares it's love and appreciation of the Camellia with one of our Sister Cities, the City of Matsuyama Japan. Check it out!
