This is to replace the bush we removed yesterday

Re: todays purchase

I like Camelias, I have three in the garden...

Re: todays purchase

I have a red one coming out in flower now, also a white with pink edge , they are both in the ground , the third one is in a tub and not in flower yet, i shall plant that in the ground when it warms up ..

it looks well established already RS

Re: todays purchase

Gosh that's a beaut bazza.
They are expensive enough to buy as a small plant, so I bet that one set you back a few bob.

I think I wouldn't disturb it at the mo, I'd keep it well watered and fed and leave it in that little tub till it has finished flowering meself.

Re: todays purchase

now it its new home but i have no idea why Sue planted it so close to the fence. Dare I argue? no

Re: todays purchase

My neighbours have theirs up close to the fence too , and it does well there.

Re: todays purchase

I have mine in a big tub close to the house wall. I've given up caring about it now. No matter how much I've coddled it in the past the flowers always turn brown and drop off the minute they open.

The leaves are still lovely & glossy and it looks so healthy!

Re: todays purchase

I bought one about the same size last year, it's full of buds this year again, I just hope the frost hasn't got to them.

I would have delayed planting it till after the predicted snow next weekend and give it time to acclimatise to the cold.

I love the colour

Re: todays purchase

It has survived the first night and the bit of overnight rain has helped.

Question is should we talk to it saying how well it is doing?

Re: todays purchase

Looks lovely, I don't have one.......Yet.
