beautiful

Ooh....Ooh....Ooh.....stunning BB! A perfect flower, wonderful....:o)

Gosh....That's a beautiful Camelia. Great photo BB.

Thank you - a recent purchase . We re lucky to have the sort of acidic soil they love.

Great photo. Just uploaded a Camellia pic myself.

looks almost like a pink...beautiful

Beautiful, love the pale petals tinged with pink you are so lucky to have one blooming so early. Mine is only just starting to bud!

Found yours Theoldgunner..!
Thanks Deida and Pp..its the one we bought last week,and has lots more buds coming..........

Great photo BB, it's lovely!

I fancy a rasberry ripple ice cream now.

Thanks Tasteyg....LOL Ams !

Beautiful flower, BB, I do like Camelias and this one is superb.

Bonkers thats beautiful............

Thanks Gee and Milky...........

Very pretty.

Isn,t that pretty , it,s like the School girl rose :o)

Beautiful BB - I'm not lucky to have acid soil :-), hence no camelia's in my garden - just lots of clay :(

Actually Dawn clay is very acidic...its chalk and lime based soils they dislike.So give it a go !

Oh right (embarrassed face!) I will, lol. There's one that grows in a front garden in the next village and looking at the house, I would imagine it never gets touched, but each year it is covered in flowers, beautiful.

There you go Dawn..give it a go..it always pays to look over the hedge.: )

Ha ha, I'm always intrigued how they can flower so early .....

Lovely photo. A really beautiful flower.

: )Would you like an interesting fact Dawn....tea comes from a camellia bush !

Thanks Toto..it seems to have settled and is producing lots of new buds !

~very pretty!

Stunning Colour Mine still not open ? :/

Thanks Arlene and Jacque..this is second bud to open..three more to come,but seems happy where we planted it !

Lovely such a delicate colour...haven't posted any pics of ours as the frost has caught many of the beautiful blooms, which is a first for us in this area....had quite a sharp frost last night and another due tonight!!.....the trial and joys of gardening.

That delicate pinky colour looks so beautiful!

The one I planted last year in my tiny front garden just started to bud - I should made my clay soil a bit acid, I will add some pine needles.

Thanks Ualda...

Sorry about the frosts Dottyd...we have lost a few plants to them this year too : (

Pretty flower BB!

Thankyou Aleyna...have had another two blooms since taking this !

this is lovely and unusual colouring - have fallen in love with it and put it on favourites for future purchasing BB!

Oh thankyou Gwendas....hope you find one ! Since taking this photo the plant has put on lots of new growth and is now smothered with flowers !

Gorgeous Camellia!

Thanks Sunblest..........
