Coco Chanel’s Favorite Flower in My Favorite Color
Dear Reader:
Coco Chanel loved camellias. And, so do I. She favored them in white and turned them into a recognizable branding phenomenon. The white bloom is both simple and elegant and fit her artistic aesthetic perfectly. Certainly, Coco was the ultimate arbiter of good taste, but a girl loves what a girl loves. I must humbly state my case for the pink camellia: everything is pretty in pink!
The camellia plant is an evergreen. It typically flowers late winter into early spring. So, as we approach the end of the season, I thought I’d share a few of my favorite gifts from the garden.
My life is a very good one. My gardener lives with me! Meet the man who brings me flowers. Up to this point, he’s only agreed to have his hand featured on my site.
Tell me, dear reader, do you love the camellia? White or pink?
Hugs,
Michele
Hi, Tom! Nice to see you!😄 Beautiful fruits 🍎 f your labor.🌸🌸🌸
I’m with you, Michelle. I like the pink. It’s livlier and more cheerful than the white.
