    Camellias are popping their buds everywhere down here in Cornwall I guess Caerhayes Garden will be open to the public soon. 
    The gardens are open now until the 11h June. 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    Interesting reading the info on that label which says strong growth on rhodos, heathers and other lime haters. That's a bit misleading - not all heathers are lime hating.
    Many of the ericas [as opposed to callunas] are fine with a more alkaline soil. The majority of the ericas tend to be the winter into spring types, but not all.
    Always best to check if you have soil which is one extreme or the other  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    This camellia does not have chlorosis !
    Leave it alone, don't pamper it, don't feed it until after flowering.  And even then only a little, it won't necessarily need it.  Believe me, your plant is healthy and doing well.  Don't worry.  Enjoy

    Alfie, I said there was nowt wrong with your camellia.  Certainly very healthy leaves that did not need sequesterd iron.
