Camellia sasanqua ‘Yuletide’

Lovely flower. My potted one was blown over in Storm Darragh, the pot now has three cracks and when we moved it this morning, to the shade of the vine to dry it out prior to re-potting it, there is a mound of soil on the patio in between the pot feet!

My plan now is to buy a lightweight pot a couple of inches bigger, some ericaceous compost and then pot it on. I would hate to lose it.

That should do the trick Shirley. I haven’t managed to get mine into its clay pot yet because My back has gone drastic! I’m resting and praying for healing! Talk about bad timing!

Oh Karen, no! How did that happen? How water bottle, Deep Heat cream, pain relief might ease the discomfort. I wish you well ... :o)

I think it was coughing Shirley. Had a rotten virus for a couple of weeks now. I am getting better. I’ve ordered a support brace for my hips. I think this will help. And rest.

Karen, that's just what happened to me a few weeks ago! I was coughing such a lot that my back became so painful I didn't know whether to sit, stand or lay down. I hope the hip brace brings some relief.

Thanks Shirley. Between the tens machine and the brace I am getting some relief. Worst of it is waking up with pain during the night. But I am able to move about as long as I am careful.
