More for your viewing pleasure, from suburban !

These blooms are bountiful and healthy. The petal structure is bright and their heads are full.

Theyโ€™re a robust flower that are so giving, especially this time of year in the southern hemisphere during time.

Pink blooming proud in .

Noticed most camellias in Melbs atm are bountiful and full flowered. Theyโ€™ve come out in the โ€˜correctโ€™ time. Most of trees are jam packed with colour!

And theyโ€™re healthy, with bright green foliage.

Although, this strange ol season and the sunshine of late (weโ€™re 2/3 into winter), is bringing out many spring-time flora out to play, ahead of their usual time.

More busy collecting nectar on these beautiful and in .

Bees are so industrious and gentle creatures.

facts;

There are over 1500 different species of native bees

Some bees are as tiny as 2mm with the largest being around 24mm.

It is thought that a honeybee produces just one half of a teaspoon of honey throughout its entire working life.

In just a single day a queen bee can lay 3000 eggs.

There are on average around 55,000 worker bees in a bee colony.

A honey beeโ€™s wings flap 11,400 times a minute, which creates the bee buzz.

A queen bee lives for up to two years.

A worker bee lives around 45 days during summer, and less in winter.

All worker bees are females, the only male bees are the drones.

Caught a in busy search for nectar on these two lovely in recently.

The blooms on these mid-sized trees are bountiful and healthy as anything.

The red petals (pic 1) are spectacular, so too the filaments and anthers of both coloured flowers.

Truly beautiful!

These are a little smaller than the many larger flowering heads that are blooming at the moment throughout .

But are no less impressive.

Vibrant colours and green foliage are most likely, in part, attributed to the rains of late and the glimpses of winter sunshine throughout the past fortnight.

More flowers, this time pretty pink!

What attracted me to these today (snapped just now) is the burst of colour, but up close I was captivated by the veins in those petals! Such detail.

Also the hair-like filaments, in such abundance!

โ€œSometimes we just need to pause for a moment and appreciate the beauty all around usโ€.

Did you knowโ€ฆ there are over 250 known species of the genus ?

The sheer quantity and visual variety of throughout our world, is just astounding.

If one thing in life is true, you cannot get enough of a good thing, right?

Camellias are one of the most bountiful and generous flowering trees on the planet. And Iโ€™m grateful for that.

They make bearable when the floral landscape is normally in its most dormant state, as nature prepares a pallet of colour and fragrance for spring and beyond!

(pictured):

Is a species of Camellia native to China and Japan. It is usually found growing in higher altitudes (up to 900 metres / half mile).

, with the common name sasanqua , it is a species native to China and Japan.

It is usually found growing in high altitudes, but does very well in conditions indeed.

As a kid I recall the couple of camellias that grew prominently in our family garden and flowered prolifically this time of year, as tended to, so lovingly by my mum.

The bright yellow anther and filaments on these ones are particularly beautiful.

So too, the striking pinks of their flowering petals.

Nature at its best.

I have a few camellias. They mostly have simple white-pink flowers. But this one... this one is a boss.

Camellia Minutiflora starting to bloom. This plant is only one year old in my garden. The scent is just amazing.
