Alas! I found the first blooming bulb of a Camellia japonica - 'Shiro Myo-ren-ji' in my east yard dropped on the ground. It is a really beautiful white flower that I have expected to see its blossom in due season this year. And, strong wind has put it off from the body this noon. I have still four more bulbs on a branch of the tree. Hope no snow, nor any strong wind from now on.
