'Tis Blooming

 My Valentine orchid has three of its four blooms open!  I wake up to this sight every morning!
 And this is what we see out the front window of the house.......camillias!
These are only two of the six bushes in bloom.
The rain really pelted them yesterday, in fact, we have had a lot of rain over the last week which has been very welcome but the sunshine today is very beautiful. 
These blooms are about 6" across-stunning!  Seeing all the color just puts a zip in your step!
