Spent my garden vouchers today I could not resist this one, it has a lot of flowers open and still lots more to come.

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.

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.
