Camellias for #flowerfriday.

Liberation Day here in Italy - I put this up as a tribute to those who fought and died to rid Italy (back then) of Nazism and Fascism, and a reminder that the battle against such ̶i̶d̶e̶o̶l̶o̶g̶y̶ hatred is still going on…

Resistance / La Resistenza

Today in Italy is "La Festa della Liberazione" / "Liberation Day". It commemorates the victory of the Italian Resistance Movement over Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.
Let us remember and honour them and more importantly - continue their great work. As there is still *a lot* of work to do. Nobody is free until we're all free!
Buona 25 aprile! ✊🎉✨

Although predominantly considered a winter plant, camellias can be seen blooming for a large part of the year (from late fall to mid-spring)🙌

Camellia flowers inspire a mind-boggling number of traditional sweets.

The most famous, and one of the oldest (an early version featuring in 'The Tale of Genji'), is 'tsubaki-mochi' (椿餅). Camellia leaves adorn a sticky rice cake, but unlike sakura-mochi the leaves act as decoration only.
