I was quite clearly right to go with the new blossoms for yesterday's post as can be seen from the number of times it has been viewed here and via my facebook page Chipster63photography (together yesterdays blog plus Spring is Springing have been viewed 426 times so far) so hopefully continuing the theme with today's pictures of a beautiful Camelia will be just as popular.
There were two large bushes in the courtyard at Chirk Castle planted next to each other, one had a mass of brightly coloured flowers while the other had many buds but no flowers at all. The first three pictures above show different stages of growth as the flowers emerge and bloom.
The final picture by contrast in colour and texture is of what appeared to be sage or another herb gone to seed (although I am far from certain what it is). This wispy structure looks delicate and covered with frost when in fact it stood quite confident and tall and rather than frost it has a fine covering of tiny hairs.
