So pleased to see the first flower on my camellia has opened. I bought the shrub before Christmas and have had to put it in a pot as the soil in my garden does not like camellias. It is covered in buds and I have been watching every day to see if any bud was going to open. What a pretty colour.
Oh it is beautiful! There is a gardener in South Carolina called The Camellia Man who says you can plant a rose bush, an azalea bush, a camellia bush and come back in 20 years, the only thing left will be the Camellia!
