When you live in Northern Ontario, your Spring/Summer months are precious. So when it rains and rains, and lots of bugs are around, you can't help but get a little miffed, to say the least. Today It's SUNNY and we are going to attempt to finish planting our Gardens. Look how lovely these acrylic drops look in a planter, we have them for sale in the shop.

The French Lilacs and Iris are in full bloom, and the smell wafting through an open window is just lovely. Flowers and their smells just uplift one's soul. Mason jar is painted with Veruca Cottage Paint. Cottage Paint goes right over glass, and metal, as well as wood. 

Our Porch at the shop is getting a make-over, with a soap testing station, for Napa Valley soap, Beekman 1802, and Rocky Mountain Soap.

A moose and birch Twig wreath made up for an order.

Flowering Spring shrubs, The Camellia, Thunder Bay, On

Spring is such a wonderful time of the Year! A lot of shrubs only flower in the Spring, and what a show it is. This post is for those of you who may be longing for blooms and warm temperatures, and you may be feeling sort of, well, is it ever going to get really nice?

Hydrangea blooms seen outside Beringer Winery in Napa Valley, California.

And everywhere you go in Mountain View, California, there's an abundance of jasmine vines, their perfume is magnificent. Flowering shrubs and vines add so much beauty to our world.

Roses are everywhere! A profusion of colour and masses of blooms, in bush and topiary forms.



Sniff..... ! Nothing smells as sweet as a Rose.

Come visit us at the Camellia! We are at 30, Hacquoil Rd. Open reduced hours on Wed. 1-3, Fri. 1-3. Sat. 1-4.

Normal hours resume on June 5th, 2013.

Some like it HOT, but some like it cool..The Camellia, Thunder Bay

Some like it HOT, but some, like my Golden above, like it cool. How about you? Do you view the approaching Fall with dread, or are you a bit fed-up with the heat and high humidity?

 Plants are still blooming away ... here are Heavenly Blue Morning Glories.  It's been such a hot, tropic-like Summer, and the plants have been loving it. As long as you can keep up with the watering....

And today, even though it's maybe 100 degrees out, we're thinking Fall, and busy changing displays and adding our new Fall product to the store.

With all the flowers still blooming in the Garden, Bouquets can be quickly thrown together. I like to use branches laden with apples, and Grapevine branches , heavy with grape clusters.

 Time to start thinking about decorating for Fall - here are simple fern bundles from the Farm

 At Camellia's, we have fabulous new Purses, and lots of evening bags with bling.

One of my favourite activities in the Fall - going for a walk or a Hike. 

Have a fun long weekend, and be sure to stop in at Camellia's! Open Wed. through Sunday. 

Sat. 11-5, Sun. Noon-5p.

30 Hacquoil Rd. ( No, this is not in the boonies or out in the back of nowhere..!)

It's a simple 10 minutes from the Thunder Bay Airport, heading south along Hwy. 61 .

We'd love to see you!
