    Hi Chris. I am so glad we share a love for camellias. There are so many types and cultivars that I will not be able to collect them all... too bad :). Thanks for the lovely comments.

This is beautiful - both the photo and the words of your poem! April Love is a diva - all dressed up in her pink gown, ready for the springtime ball. I love camellias - might consider planting one of these bushes myself. This should do well in the contest. well done!

A great Photo of your Camellia. So beautiful. I guess you are in spring now whilst we are coming into winter - everything is sleeping except my Hawaiian hibiscus. How wonderful is our God. Good luck in the contest.

    Hi Kace... thanks so much for your exceptional review and comments. I am glad you like my camellia. I hope you enjoy the wintertime and the slower pace. It is always refreshing to me. Hope your hibiscus survives!! Hugs!

    Because I live in the sub-tropics, winter is just a lovely cooler summer. My hibiscus is 10 yrs old, I don't feed it, gave it a haircut and it's still blooming! Take care love, Kace. xx

Melissa,
Your poem is very beautiful in that the rhyme is seamless, and the words you've chosen describe this flower well. The photo of the rose is a poem in itself. Excellent writing, Melissa.
Best wishes in the contest!
Cindy

That is a lovely photo of the camellia japonica. Your poem has a lovely description of the flower, its color and appearance. I like that you refer to the flower as "her." It definitely thrives on making an impression. Great alliteration with bursting buds and excellent rhyme. It gives a colorful visual picture of the flower. judi

This is an excellent poem, with a beautiful picture of the bloom in question that is well suited, for this piece and contest.
Camellias are so pretty and colorful, mostly the color pink. I like your flow, meter, and rhyme choices very much. Thank you for sharing this lovely piece, and good luck with the contest!
Take care,
