Nyheter fra syfronten... og kameliaen
news from the sewing front... and the camellia
Jeg laget en skjorte i bomullsjersey som passer til buksene mine...det er et superbehagelig plagg, og jeg har mer på gang.
I made a cotton jersey shirt to match my pants... it's a super comfy piece of clothing and I have more in the works... it's just nice to play with the fabric :-)
En kamelia ble plantet av hoffgartneren til Pillnitz slott i 1801, og den er fortsatt veldig populær i dag. Og vi besøker dem hvert år...
In 1801, the court gardener of Pillnitz Castle/Dresden/Germany planted a camellia in the castle park, which is still very popular today... we visit it every year...

Kameliaen er nesten 9 meter høy og har en kronediameter på ca 12 meter. Den er beskyttet av et mobilt drivhus, som beskytter den mot frost om vinteren. Kameliaen blomstrer fra midten av februar, den har titusenvis av små, klokkeformede, karmosinrøde blomster som ligner arten vill kamelia. Drivhuset er tilgjengelig via trapper...
The camellia is almost 9 meters high and has a crown diameter of about 12 meters. She is protected by a mobile greenhouse that protects her from frost in winter. The camellia blooms from mid-February, it has tens of thousands of small, bell-shaped, crimson flowers resembling wild camellia species. In the greenhouse you can be very close to the camellia via a 2-storey staircase...
Et besøk til Pillnitz slott og slottspark er alltid hyggelig og de første potteplantene var allerede ute.
I love walking in Pillnitz... the first potted plants were already outside.
Og selvfølgelig benyttet vi anledningen til å besøke noen andre drivhus...
We also visited some other greenhouses in the park...
Kjære Viola,
AntwortenLöschenTusen takk for at du viste frem alle de flotte camellia som er ved Pillnitz slott. De er veldig vakre alle sammen. Fantastiske blomster fra drivhuset også. Du er så flink til å sy!
Klem fra Marit
Det var en fantastisk solrik vårdag da vi var i Pillnitz... Jeg har nesten for mange bilder på bloggen, men jeg tok mange flere bilder... overalt hvor man ser i parken er det så vakkert.
LöschenMange hilsener til deg Marit.
Viola, thank you for sharing such glorious beauty. The camellia is incredible. Its height, the blooms, the area…a wonder for the world!
AntwortenLöschenYes, the oldest camellias are said to be in Pillnitz/Germany, Caserta near Naples/Italy and Campopello near Porto/Portugal.
LöschenThere is a great horticultural tradition in Pillnitz and the camellia is still blooming today. There is evidence that it was planted in 1801 exactly where it stands today. A joy for all of us, because the region is not typical for it, hence the greenhouse, it will be put aside from May ... and the tree is in the fresh air :-)))
Sewing comfortable clothes is a fine talent to have.
AntwortenLöschenAlso fine is that gorgeous Camellia. It sounds like very great care is lavished on it and it responds by growing so huge and so full of blooms!!
Yes, isn't it amazing, the camellia is about 250 years old, it is cared for by professional gardeners and it is a joy for all visitors.
AntwortenLöschenSå hyggelig å se og lese fra en gryende vår! Nydelige bilder! Og så beundrer jeg deg for alt du syr! Du er flink!
AntwortenLöschenØnsker deg fine vårdager! Her er det mange kuldegrader hver natt, men vi har lite snø.
God søndag fra Ingunn
Thanks for sharing all the beauty with us. The camellia is absolutely gorgeous to see. Your sewing is creating lots of nice outfits for you to wear. Have a wonderful day and weekend.
AntwortenLöschenYour new clothing looks very comfortable, Viola! Thank you for taking us on your Castle visit - the gardens are beautiful. Who would have thought a 200-year-old camellia would still be alive today!
AntwortenLöschenSuch beautiful flowers. It looks like an excellent way to spend your day.
AntwortenLöschenlovely flowers........was the glass house built especially to get the camellia to grow so big........I didn't know they grew to high......it sure would be spectacular when flowering.........and how fun it would be to walk up around the tree.....
AntwortenLöschenThis region is not the original home of the camellia, the winter is too cold here, hence the greenhouse. There has always been one, formerly made of wood with large glass windows that can be removed... and the mobile greenhouse has been around for 30 years. From May it will be moved to the side on rails.
LöschenLook at you, lovely Viola, in your lovely top and pants♡ Yes, it is always such fun playing with fabric. Wow...a 200+ year old camellia tree with it's very own greenhouse protecting it! Such a pretty town/city you have wandered around. Love all those pretty spring flowers.
AntwortenLöschenLiebe Viola,
AntwortenLöschenJa um so etwas kuscheliges und bequemes nähen zu können ist ja super!
Die Kamelie ist ja super! So groß haben wir sie hier nicht...
Ja, wenn solche Schlösser mit Garten offen sind zum Publikum ist es ja herrlich. So dienen die noch lange auch andere Menschen!
Liebe Sonntagsgrüße,
Mariette
Jeg visste ikke at en kamelia buske kan bli så stort og så gammelt! Så bra at det blir beskyttet i den kjølige årstiden. Vakre blomster fra Pillnitz slott. Flott topp og bukse, riktig koseplagg. Riktig god søndag!
AntwortenLöschenHej Viola!
AntwortenLöschenVilka otroligt fina kamelior. Många andra vackra blommor och växter också. Det är härligt att gå omkring i stora fina växthus.
Ha en fin söndag /Marika
Vilket ställe så vackert med alla blommor.
AntwortenLöschenHa en fin söndag.

You have been busy, Viola. I think you need to take more pictures posed in your new outfit. The ones here are a little dark, in the shadow perhaps, and we don't see them well. Being able to create your own clothes is a real talent. That camellia is truly amazing. I am sure that everyone is amazed by its height. Stay well, keep busy, support Ukraine, curse Putin! Hugs from Ontario, David
AntwortenLöschenYour top is lovely and the set sure looks comfy.
AntwortenLöschenSuch a gorgeous garden to visit.
Tusen takk for hyggeleg kommentar, Viola :) Så fine plagg du har sydd deg, og så vakre blomster, og ein fantastisk kamelia. Her er det litt snø enno, men håper våren snart er her. Håper du får ei fin påske :)
AntwortenLöschenViola - beautiful flowers. I am looking forward to visiting Spring gardens during our trip to the UK!
AntwortenLöschenSå stilig skjorte du har sydd - det tøyet ser så deilig mykt ut. Så flink du er.
AntwortenLöschenTusen takk for så flotte bilder. Jeg ble helt glad i hjertet av å se på dem - som å være med på tur. For en nydelig kamelia dere har i nærheten. For et vidunderlig sted å fordype seg i alt det vakre når våren kommer. Nyt solstrålene og fargene kjære Viola. Du gjør meg alltid glad med kommentarene på bloggen min og med dine blogposter. Alt godt kjære venn. Klem fra Lone
Having comfortable and stylish clothes is a very good thing! I want to sew a few things for myself this spring, too.
AntwortenLöschenThat is a very old and magnificent camellia. Amazing that it has survived for so long, giving pleasure to so many people. Happy Spring days to you, Viola.
Such pretty flowers! Love that Camellia!
AntwortenLöschenOh Camelia is just a lovely flower - a queen!
AntwortenLöschenHave a great day :)

Så flott antrekk du har sydd til deg selv. Jeg har mange stoffer liggende, men ting tar tid. Hos deg er det vår ser jeg, her ligger snøen enda dessverre. Ha en flott dag.
AntwortenLöschenSå mye fint du syr! Den kameliaen var imponerende! Og så mye fint å se ellers også. Mange vakre blomster. Ha en fin dag!
AntwortenLöschenAll of the flowers are wonderful but that camelia is spectacular.

Wow that camellia is huge! Just amazing, also the structure around it. Enjoy the lovely spring.
AntwortenLöschenTusen takk for mange utrolig vakre bilder. For en kamelia! Helt utrolig flott! Og våren er nok kommet lenger hos dere. Her er det kalde netter.
AntwortenLöschenJeg har ikke lagt ut innlegg på lenge, da min mann har vært syk, men jeg blir nok flinkere.
En god og gul solskinnspåske ønskes av Tove/fargeneforteller.
