The camellia house

These are shots taken today of the Camellia House at the Planting Fields Arboretum on Long Island. We go see the camellias  every February to warm us up on a wintry day. Our February visit was futile since there was so much ice on the green house that it was dangerous and some panes had actually collapsed under the strain and the place was closed. We returned on Saturday and were able to enjoy these magnificent flowers. I want to post first a few images of this old, classic green house and a few flower images will follow in another post. We just love this place that belonged to the Coles family and was bequeathed to the  state and turned into a public park.
