Camellia - say Hello to 2013

On the 15th January the camellias are blooming and we have our first dusting of snow. 

A few days later, on the 18th, the world turned white and the camellia bushes disappeared under a thick white cloak. Its the 20th today, and they are still hidden under the snow - how many branches will have snapped, how many flowers will have fallen off and how many buds will be brown and frozen. Look long at the photo as there may not be many more like that.
