Winter 2010 Courtyard

Winter-2010-CourtyardMy favorite Camellia bush is in bloom! The Azaleas and Cyclamen are also in bloom. This time of year, the courtyard garden is full of pink and purple.

Kramer’s Supreme Camellia

Kramers-Supreme-CamelliaOur Kramer’s Supreme Camellia has a big, beautiful bloom–the first ever. We’ve had this Camellia bush for about three years. Last year, all the buds faced downward and never opened up much. We have this bush in complete shade, but I understand the Kramer’s Supreme Camellia could tolerate some sun.

Japanese Maples in the Fall

Fall-Japanese-MaplesOur courtyard looks the best in fall and winter. The color of the Japanese Maples in the fall is beautiful! In the winter, the Camellias, Azaleas, and Cyclamen bloom. I think I may decorate the Thujus with Christmas ornaments this year.
