SINKING INTO CAMELLIAS

A bouquet. These are camellia sasanqua in late fall. Behind is the Summer House.
Alexandra Stoddard wrote about the golden ratio in Living A Beautiful Life. I used it to design the summer house. My lot is less than 8500 sqft in suburbia. MY LANDSCAPE IS IN DENIAL OF SUBURBIA BECAUSE I AM.

With a landscape design client in Michigan I dreadfully missed camellia.
Mother Nature, please let me SHOW OFF with sasanqua. JUST ONE. Next to the conifers.

Use white blossoms for plantings further away from your home. They show up better from a distance than pink or dark pink.


Honeybees come on cold fall days to the sasanqua. Follow them home? Fantasies about tasting sasanqua honey.
