Scarlet Fever and Scarlet Camellia

My 26 year old daughter flew home to Tasmania from Canberra last Thursday and had her wisdom teeth out in hospital last Friday . She became unwell with what we thought was a bad cold on Monday but today she has been diagnosed with Scarlet Fever so she is not real well at all. She is covered in a dreadful angry rash and is certainly in the wars so to speak.

It always cheers me up when the beautiful spring flowers start to make their appearance well before spring arrives. My garden is a spring-early summer delight with many azaleas, camellias and flowering bulbs set to make their appearance over the next few months.
