That looks a lovely dense bush, PP. Both my camellias are more open. Do you prune it at all?

Thanks all
Janey I remember rightly the flowers were a rosy Pink.
Gee I dont prune it , evven though it hasnt flowered very well, the leaves in themself have been glossy and healthy and very attractive.

I just wondered if pruning would thicken mine up! My white one, although it has lots of buds and has been flowering since before Christmas, is still quite spindley :)
