    What are you all doing with blooming flowers? Don’t you know its winter?

    But camellias are truly a winter-blooming flower everywhere, and they’re one of the few annuals I know of that bloom in January. (I think they’re everyone’s “first blooms.”) It always takes me by surprise (even in sunny So Cal) when I see the buds outside my kitchen window in January!

    There are red varieties, and pink, and lots of shades in between — so pretty.
