Mockingbird *SOLD*

Today is the 50th Anniversary of the publication of Nelle Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird". Miss Lee is from Monroeville, Alabama and lives there today. I'm posting a painting of a camellia today which is Alabama's state flower...but she is our state flower as well.

January's Best *SOLD*

A few weeks ago, a new friend shared some camellias with me from his beautiful garden. I just love them - they're my favorite flower. Little valentines - pinks & reds - right in the middle of winter. There's something old fashioned about them that I just love - I guess they remind me of the gardens of so many grandmothers. I hope this one brightens a chilly day for you!
