    Beautiful, that’s about the right time for the white ones, I had a couple but it’s so damp here that they would turn brown before fully opening, we dug them out in the end, the pink and reds ones seem to fare better.

    Beautiful and I also like the fern below.

    My pinky red camellia has been flwoering for a couple of weeks now but has suddenly started showing yellowed leaves.   It has been blasted by strong winds and heavy rains so I hope it's just had the goodness leached out and will respond to some diluted Epsom salts.
