OT - A blooming miracle

Shortly after moving to the pacific northwest nearly 10 years ago, I planted a pink camillia in my backyard. I was fascinated with all these exotic plants that grow here that I could not have in the midwest.

Well that dang camillia never bloomed - it grew and looked ok but never any blooms.

...until today when I looked out and saw a pink flower. At first I thought it was some other plant but lo and behold its covered with blooms and buds. 

And I was about to dig it up and toss it. Just goes to show you that some things are worth waiting for.

 Diane, that's great!  you should post a photo, you really should!    I love spring!!  

That's great!!
Love your caption, too.
Happy Spring!!!

Happy Spring!!! Camillias are so beautiful. Very soon, you will have many flowers and not just one.

We had a similar story with some flowers (forget what kind) my Mom planted near our front door. After 3 or 4 years of not blooming, one spring my Dad looked at 'em and told Mom, "If they don't bloom this year, we're taking them out." They did.

We do need pix.

LIKE!

I vote for the pictures, as well.  Please post!  We all could use a little spring around here after our crazy winter.  Today it's georgous but just a few days ago we had snowy rain showers.
