Normally on Jan 1 we are mid 30's I was sipping a cup of fresh brewed Ethiopian Yirgacheffe wet processed coffee that I roasted a few days ago (wearing a T shirt, shorts and flip flops) when I noticed flowers outside. NO WAY..... I grabbed my camera and one of my Camellias was in FULL bloom (90% + buds opened). I found a few other shrubs blooming too, though not as full as that one Camellia. We are about as far north as Camellias will grow without freezing. I have had mine freeze to the ground a few times over the years so to see them in full bloom instead of freeze distress is something I may never see again I had to snap some pics to share...... Azaleas normally blooms in April and May, Not January Full bloom Camellia Mick - "Drinking in life one cup at a time" "I'd rather be roasting coffee" Roaster 1: San Franciscan SF-1 Roaster 2: Hottop B-2K+ Roaster 3: 2 kilo Chinese drum Grinders: Mazzer Major - Forte BG (x3) Pour over: Hario - Bee House - Chemex - Kalita - Bodum Drip: Bunn CWTF15-1 & CW15-TC (commercials) Espresso: Pasquini Livia 90 auto Vacuum: Cona - Bodum Press: Frieling - Bodum Colombia

Our hydrangea was fat with buds the other day, I haven't covered it to protect from frost, so it will loose all it's buds I'm sure.... I can't believe that picture of your camellia! Wonder if it will just keep blooming straight thru??? Carpe Diem With Coffee

Finally turning a bit colder but spring should be interesting. My hope is that this false spring killed all the cucumber beetles! -Jon Honey badger 1k, Bunn LPG-2E, Technivorm, Cimbali Max Hybrid, Vibiemme Double Domo V3
