My friend gave me this beautiful little caddy that holds 3 bottles and is perfect for camellias. It has been cold lately in Southern California, but guess what? The camellias are blooming and they are just the right size for it. Look at these beauties. They have golden silk like stamens and lots of ruffles. And this arrangement couldn’t be any easier! Just cut the blooms and set them in the bottles that have a little floral food mixed in the water. Voila…you’re done. That’s it. I told you…it’s as easy as 1,2,3.

As you know, I’m a nut for camellias. You can’t really appreciate them fully until they are featured by themselves. Then you realize how showy they are. If you would like to read more about camellias see the following posts:
