I know that some of you were dying to know if my 2 new camellia shrubs turned out to be the same variety or different. I posted about this last week and at the time, it was a mystery. I had hoped for them to be different, but who could tell when they were just in bud. Both appeared to be pink, that’s all I could say for certain.

But shrub one turned out to be Nuncio’s Cameo (if it was labeled correctly!).

And shrub 2 turned out to be Nuncio’s Pearl. It is somewhat opalescent. Both shrubs have gorgeous blossoms!


The craziest things make me happy. I loved this little basket of tangerines from Spain for sale at my local market and was fascinated to see that the producers have been in business since 1940. Think of that! Since the mid of WWII. Imagine the things this company has weathered.

I love the label.

A little Spanish to add to the interest.
Pretty as a picture. I tasted one: deliciioso, in both Italian and Spanish!

These are the things that make me happy!
Those are the same things that bring me joy! Love your camellias! I can almost taste your citrus! It is springlike here today, finally! Eager to be outside and enjoy our beauty!
Buongiorno!
