Camellia Society Show & Sale: Brookside Gardens

By
Industry Observer with Retired

Camellia Society Show & Sale:  Brookside Gardens

Many Maryland home owners have camellias in their yards and gardens.  If you enjoy camellias, you will not want to miss The Camellia Society Show & Sale at Brookside Gardens  in the Wheaton Regional Park in Montgomery County, Maryland.  Dolores and I try to attend all of the flower shows at Brookside Gardens.   You will also want to allow time for a walk through the beautiful gardens.  Be sure to have your camera in hand to capture the colors of the season.

Brookside Gardens is located in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC.  Visitors come from around the world.  Visitors do not need to speak English to enjoy the beauty of flowers and gardens.

Roy, 

What a gorgeous camelia.  I have a friend whose entryway to her home is filled with camelia trees of every variety.  It is a glorious sight.  Your photo is so good that it looks like I could reach out and touch it.

Roy, A beautiful flower to say Spring" to all of us.  so far not even any 'buds' to see around here. Hopefully, they will appear within the next few weeks.  We are still in the throes of winter-like winds & cold.  It doesn't even work anymore to call the weather as 'spring-like'  it is cold. Though today it did reach 45*.  That never seemed warm-ish to me, but now we are hanging onto any temp over 45*.
Your flower picture is great,  Enjoy your Spring show on the 6th & 7th of April.
Happy Easter to both of you.

Roy what a beautiful flower, Thank you for sharing and brightening up our day. Still no sign of any flowers here, but spring has arrived and the last of the snow in my yard will be gone today. Who would have though we see grass before July 4 only a few weeks ago.

Sometimes it is a good idea to revisit some old blogs and reblogs. We might even find some good ideas for new posts.

Make it a habit to post a daily reblog. It is an easy way to pay it forward.
