    It was in the wrong soil until about 2/3 weeks ago , I shall get a new bigger pot & move it, it's quite sunny out the front especially in the morning, once the sun moves to the back its in total shade.
    Thanks for your help @merleworld :dbgrtmb:

    You're welcome Beckie :) Best not to put it in an east facing position as the buds are easily damaged by the morning sun if it's been cold overnight. West is good.

          That looks a lot like C. williamsii 'Debbie', ICR.

          This is my 'tricolour' surprise.....I thought it was mutating the first year it had two colours on the same shrub. I've since seen bi and tri-colour flowered Camellias for sale, so that must be what I've got.

                    My red Camelia is just about finishing but I have a wonderful yellow (I think it's Jury's Yellow) which delivered its first flower yesterday. Will try to get a photo when the rain stops!
