It’s raining camellias! Friends, with the wet weather, the camellias are amazing this year. The camellia bushes at my house are exploding in color. Did you know that some 100-year old camellias may reach 25 feet tall? Wow. This year, the Modesto Camellia society will be celebrating this amazing flower with their showcase and plant sale at the MJC West Mary Stuart Rogers Building. You will be amazed at the brilliant colors, the soft pinks and award-winning blooms from all over the region. You will also enjoy flute and string quartets. Check your own plants, you may have a winner!
