About three years ago, Gene came home one day with a Camelia bush he had bought. Their yard wherever they lived was always a work in progress.  Emily helped him decide to set it out near the northeast corner of the house.  It has taken these years since to get established.

For the first time ever this spring it is full of  blooms.  Emily was very touched when she saw it blooming. 

Emily already had her peas planted and they are nearly ready to come up.  Today she also discovered that the one broccoli plant that survived the winter - maybe one of the last things Gene ever planted, was full of broccoli. She picked about a quart from it!
