Camelia in bloom

Post by Gruntfuttock »

This year's first camelia bloom erupted on 16th January. There are plenty out now. This is the first time that it has bloomed without damaged flowers, and is two months early.

I'm not sure what effect the cold weather and snow will have on it.

Hi Aud. It's doing fine, even covered in snow it was producing new flowers.
