As I mentioned in the immediately previous post, this is the sequel to that same previous post, and the second ‘Six on Saturday’ for today. These five bad pictures of good camellias, and the sixth . . . picture, would make sense only after reading the previous post: https://tonytomeo.com/2019/03/30/six-on-saturday-vanity/
These pictures are somewhat better than the previous six, . . . although black vinyl nursery cans and the gravel on the ground below are a bit too prominent in the first four. The flowers are centered better within the pictures, . . . although the first three are not facing the camera.
1. R. L. Wheeler
2. Variegated Guilio Nuccio
3. Nuccio’s Gem
4. Valentine’s Day
5. Unidentified camellia in the home garden
6. ME! As mentioned above, the previous post makes a bit more sense about these pictures.
Now, in case you do not read the previous post or know who Brent is, I will explain briefly that he is a renowned but extremely vain landscape designer in the Los Angeles region, and has been my colleague since we were college roommates in 1986. I posted my selfie here for comparison with Brent’s selfie in the previous post. Together they demonstrate that, although I am not nearly as proficient with taking good selfies as Brent is, I look much better in my selfies. Ironically, Brent Green, the renowned landscape designer, got his selfie in a nursery; and I am a nurseryman, but got my selfie in a landscape.
There are some more pictures of Brent’s home garden that I will likely share next week. They are much more interesting than the sorts of landscapes that I work in.
This is the link for Six on Saturday, for anyone else who would like to participate:

Oh, I considered posting them backward, just because I know how this works. Oh well. My selfie is MUCH better anyway.

Looks like there’s been some careful pruning of undergrowth in that last shot!

Since I work in public landscapes for now, my associates had me remove some of the winter growth last June. I thought they would have me remove the rest of it too, but nothing more was said. I did without it this last winter.

GOODNESS! You have no idea! I wrote a few brief articles about some of the few light duty issues we got into over they years. The statute of limitations is only seven years or so.
