Camellia..at last!

What a beauty flourishing wonderfully worth the wait Sandra

another great Camellia - aren't they just superb !!

Thats lovely Sandra

Thank you..It does well against the North facing wall,6d,just takes a bit longer to flower..but as long as it does,I'm happy..:o)

I agree,Paul,well worth waiting for..I'm a bit impatient sometimes..A lot of buds at the top were frosted off,but it
still has lots to come..I will be out with some fleece,if another is forecast..

Thank you Cinders,Its one of my favourites in Spring..:o)

just had them on Gardeners' world - wish it would give more details on the programme though

Yes they like shade not sun Sandra

That's true 6d...:o)

:o)) My potted one and a red one is in the shade facing north like you said later blooming but worth the wait, perhaps it makes them hardier too .

Haven't seen it Paul but I have taped it..that's if I find time to watch it,as I seem to be on here most of the time..! Lol.

Very pretty ... was this the one you had as your avatar ... briefly ... ?

Yes it was,Shirley,if you look at the next pic of it,you will see how like your avatar it was Lol

Have seen it now ... thanks for changing to a Pansy! : o ))

Bloomer I found out it needed ericaceous soil and if it gets big prune it - some woman said I planted one and then couldn't see out my window - does it take much working out for the solution?! lol

Well worth the wait Sandra they are beautiful, no flowers this year on mine the Damm frost! got all the buds!

mmm Paul,I'm not even going there Lol.but think I get your drift.:o))

Oh thats a shame Carole..all that waiting too,such a waste,as it is lovely when you see the first bud open.. ...

Well maybe next year ;0)

bloomer I put all my camellias together - we have 3 little ones and a bigger one
