"Camellia 2020"

Camellia flowers have many different expressions
Show me
The tension of the beginning of blooming
The embarrassment when it opens a little
Hidden Appearance
The splendor of the flowers when they bloom
And then, after blooming,
The determination to fall with the flowers
One of my favourite flowers
(Katsuji Wakisaka)

Camellia flowers show
a variety of expressions.
The excitement as they begin to bloom.
The shyness and mystery
of a half-open bud.
The gorgeous beauty of full bloom.
And then, the quiet resolve
of falling gracefully, still intact.
It is one of my favorite flowers.

de nombreuses expressions différentes:
La tension au début de sa floraison.

C'est une de mes fleurs préférées.
