    Goodness ... no sign of my Crown Imperials yet ... love them, especially the rusty orange ones  :D

    Jason - you should rejoice in producing such a magnificently healthy and richly flowered bush!  Count your blessings ;)
    A 'weed' is just a plant in the wrong place - subjective! ;)

    Hi @Jason-3, wow!! that’s a beautiful Camelia!  How old and how tall is your Camelia? I planted one last week and from seeing the size of yours I’m wondering whether I’ve planted it in the wrong place.

    I must admit its one plant I have spent quite a bit of money on...I purchased it in a 50 litre pot 4 years ago but seems to like the slightly acidic clay soil and north west postion. It realy has romped away and is a good 12 feet in height now. I will give a light trim later in the year...with an ericaceous mulch.
