新しい葉の赤い色が好きです。ベランダの椿です。

This camellia has survived in a small pot for many years. Since the photo was taken, I realize it’s already setting buds for winter.

Balcony camellia pushes pink petals against city sky

このベランダの椿は冬の日差しが好きそうです。

Our south-facing balcony gets a lot of winter sun. This pink camelia started blooming at new year, and it’s reaching its peak now.
