Welcome to the first Day of Autumn!

Fall is a glorious  riot of colour - shades of browns, rusts, oranges, and yellows. Fall arrangements can be subdued, in shades of greens and whites. The bucket in the photo above holds Queen Anne's lace and mini ornamental cabbage.

Makes a bold statement, with only 2 colours.

Dried Wreaths are so lovely, this wreath contains manzanita branches, wheat, proteas and pomegranates. Come into the Camellia today to order your custom Fall wreath, or take a class and make your own.

We have  a great selection of stylish, water and stain repellent tablecloths in stock at The Camellia.

Decorate with Lanterns,  they are great for all seasons.

Echoes of Summer and the Nicotina plants which the humming birds love. Fall is bittersweet, beautiful, yet hinting at the cold weather to come. Take a drive into the Country and stop in at The Camellia, we are Open Wed. 11-5, Thurs. 12-5, Fri. 11-6, Sat. 11-5, Sun. 12-5.  Cottage Paint class ( Beginners' ) coming up this Thursday from 6.30 to 9.

Falling into Fall, reluctantly

 It's September already...and some of us want to hang onto that last little bit of heat, we don't want our plants to freeze, and we have no desire to dig out coats, boots, and even socks. As for the S  - word, please, let's not go there. Time to think about transitional floral arrangements - these ease into the different seasons without any effort or extra fanfare. Like this stunning Magnolia arrangement above. The leaves look nice long after they have dried up.

 Look at the colours of these pomegranates, great to add to a wooden bowl as a quick centrepiece.

 Time to cut those hyrangea blooms, to make up wreaths .

 Continue to appreciate each and every sunny day with blue skies.

 It's easier to sleep now that the nights are a bit cooler.

 Think about taking a Fall course at The Camellia.

Sit by Lake Superior and enjoy the running water .

We will reopen at The Camellia on Sept. 19th. In the meantime, if you need anythuing, leave a message at 807-472-8193. or 807-475-3551

Happy long August Weekend!

 It's been quite the July....Thunder Bay thought it was part of the tropical Rainforest...it rained and thunder showered at every opportunity. Not just a light rain, heavy, torrential, monsoon type rains. For a person that waits all year for Summer so that they can garden, it was enough to .......we will not go there. I am sure the rain would be better welcomed in Cali, which is suffering from a massive drought at the moment.

And with the thunder showers, along came the hail. Plants got shredded. Owners of plants were not happy. Plant owners stifled the urge to go buy more plants.

Rivers and waterways are filled to the point of overflowing. It's August now, and we look forward to bright sunshine and blue skies. 

 Great new Cottage Paint brushes in stock - less reloading and rounded edges.

Just making headstone flowers for an order.

Come Visit The Camellia, for Wedding Flowers , Cottage Paint and lots of cool stuff.

The Camellia - we are open all long weekend. Stop by and Visit.

Open Wed. through  Sunday. Friday 11-6p. Sat. 11-5. Sun. 12-5p.

If you have a group of 4 or more, you can call and arrange your own time. Some of you are redoing bathrooms, some are repainting kitchen cabinets, some are planning on redoing furniture out at camp. And Cottage Paint has low voc's, making it a great choice for those of us with allergies. We just received a shipment of Cottage paint, with great new colours for the Summer, and new neutrals in off whites and greys.  We have all shades of this season's hottest colour trend - BLUES. The comment we hear the most from our customers.."We Love this Paint!!"  In order to attend this class, do pre-register by phoning us at 475-3551 or email at thecamellia@hotmail.com.
