Caught by the frost

But still lovely. We repotted this camellia in the autumn. It was quite a job because it was 4-5ft tall. But was showing signs of yellowing leaves, so distressed. Many more buds this year but caught by cold. ('Nuccio's Pearl'.)

Yes, Janey. This one caught it when in bud. I thought it was in a good position so could have been worse!

That's a shame Ange! What did you do to treat it because of yellow leaves as mine is the same?

We bought specialist camellia feed, Rose, and that has helped a lot. Mind you, my 'Yuletide' has been shy of flowering for 2 years now even with the boost so it may be on last orders. I'm loathe to consign it to the great compost heap in the sky because I do love it. But there are a few other shrubs I have my beady on which may get the old heave-ho soon if they don't perk up. Life's to short to nurse miffy plants (at least mine is!).

I will look out for that! Thanks Ange.

Such a soft colour, Ange. I do hope this one continues to survive for you. It’s so pretty. My camellia hasn’t bloomed at all. It’s not in the appropriate soil, but it usually flowers. Never mind, it’s still green and fairly healthy, so, maybe next year.

Kate, I hope your camellia isn't as recalcitrant as our 'Yuletide' is..
