Camelia

 

Camellia Japonica, Lady Palm
Ceramic vase
Item# ujik336

The Camelia flower, in all her glory delivers a tender truth. Unlike other flowers, whose petals slowly wither and lightly fall, the life of Camelia ends unexpectedly. She falls to the ground complete, whole.
The magnificent scene on the ground beneath her tree is a striking reminder that life is fragile, and that fragility is not always obvious.
