Camellia

Beautiful pure red.

yes and very full flowers, hope we do not get too many sharp frosts from now on in.

Oh yes, very nice indeed!

glad you like it, it is very pretty :O) think though I am going to put it in a pot where I can control the compost and moisture better than in the garden. I have three in the garden borders and they do not do as well as I would like them to. Will give it a go and see how it gets on, I can always transfer it into the garden another year.

Yes, good plan!

I have two Camellias both in pots and they're doing great. The secret I'm reliably informed is not to let them dry out in June/July much easier to control in pots.

Thanks Waddy think the ones that are planted in the border suffered in the first two years because of the drought and I had not realised they needed watering. Now I have learned that they are very needy in dry conditions they have done better. I shall find a nice pot for this one so I am able to control its needs easier. lol. hopefully it will do better in a pot. Its a beautifull flower.

That is a beauty Olive hope it does well for you;0)

thank you :O)

Magnificent, how beautiful it is!

thank you Wildrose, still more flowers to come out too :O)
