This camellia is in our local park !

What a beauty

This shrub was twelve" by six", incredible.

beautiful

They are so lush arent they, almost exotic.

oh wow love the red :):):)

such a perfect flower..a lot of mine are tinged brown already,with the hot sun yesterday..its a no win situation ..either frost or sun gets them..but I still get excited when it flowers :o),,its given a ground frost here tonight !!

Paul I love this one too, it is huge, in our park, well established, and Bloomer cannot believe you are expecting a frost, its not fair is it? Get and cover up your plants!!

They are all tucked up in the coldframe and growhouse,Grandmage..and the more tender ones have a blanket of fleece over them as well ! Still too early to plant out yet.,but its tempting when it has been so warm..I have planted out,a hardy Fuchsia cutting,but I have been out and given it its own little greenhouse..half a plastic lemonade bottle ..the top half,without the cap,to let it breathe :o)

I cover a few things - just be glad when frosts are gone - hate cold

Me too..just been checking the 5 day weather forecast for Harrogate,as I told you we were going for a few days ,Paul..not looking too bad,and better than we first thought..not much rain,only an odd shower..and temperature rising a bit, I am happy with that..now I know what to pack :o)

Nice :):) My bday Thursday so hopefully too - I hope you have a great time :):):)
