Even though it’s chilly outside, flowers are beginning to make their colorful appearances.
Bloom 
Blossom
Till now I used the terms bloomed and blossomed interchangeably. I finally tried to clarify the difference and turned to Google. Wiktionary placed the definitions side by side, and from it you could tell there is a slight difference in meaning; it seems like synonyms to me. Maybe you have a better way to explain the difference. If you do, please share!
From Wiktionary
- Bloom (noun):A blossom; the flower of a plant; an expanded bud.
- Blossom (noun): A fruit fruiting; a mass of such flowers.
“A flower blossoms for its own joy.”
― Oscar Wilde

Welcome to my blog! My name is Esther and I'm so happy you are here. I'm an avid nature photographer and a daydreaming thinker. My posts revolve around photos of nature's beauty, homeschooling adventures with my 2 kids, sporadic reflections on my child's heart condition, Bible reading reflections, gardening feats, and other mish mash things. Hopefully you'll leave encouraged, pensive, or smiling at the simple things of life. Thank you for stopping by and hope you'll find some interesting posts to read!

Lovely camellias. Those flowers are a tradition in the south. Great shots.

Is that what they’re called?? Thank you for the information. I’m learning as I go.
Camellias are very lovely and this kind of flower would lighten up any room.

They come in lots of pinks, reds, whites and red with white splotches on bushes than can get quite large if allowed. They are wonderful.

A whole group of large Camellias sounds beautiful!!! I would almost be sad to see them because they will die soon. I guess that’s why silk flowers are popular.
But seeing nature reminds me of God’s amazing-ness.
