Today's Flowers: Surprises

Camellias (this variety) set their buds during the winter and bloom in the spring. This camellia got ahead of itself, to my surprise, and I caught a picture of it before the frost began turning it brown.

What a lovely winter surprise!
The camellia has such a soft pink color and so delicate looking.
Those little aster seed heads are quite dainty and I agree about their beauty.

The soft pink is very comforting. And the dried bush is quite fun to see actually. :-)

Each are lovely in such different ways...camellias are always SO beautiful! This one is just so perfect! And the seed heads of the asters have their own beauty!
