Show us your Camellias 2015

Just checked on mine its in between losing the first flowers and the next ones opening

 

I only have two camellias, shouldn't really be growing any as the soil is not acid, but I get by.

The first is "Roger Hall", I like it because to me the flowers are so perfect.


Behind it is "Contessa Lavinia Maggi", Its a bit less formal, but the flowers are different.
It also produces a few flowers of one colour, I'm guessing its a "sport" from this plant.

 

Hiya Pete.

My soil here is neutral, and did for my Rhododendrons. The Camellia though is doing pretty well. The previous owner said she would just keep piling the grass cuttings around the base. Have you heard of that?

 

I just water in some chelated iron once a year or so.
I can see how grass cutting might work though, along with tea, coffee drop of malt vinegar.

 

Madame de Strekaloff - you can see the different colour blooms on the same plant ...


Jury's Yellow ...

This is supposed to be Eric Baker, but I don't think it is. One of my favourites though ...

This one needs reporting really I have put a load of horses Manure on the top and it is blooming far better than last year, I don't k ow the name I am afraid. I might plant them in the garden maybe that would be best for them now Dave

 

Sorry that should have been repotting

Treat it to a bigger pot - Camellias grow happily in pots if they are regularly watered . And it would love some fresh ericaceous compost...
I love that " formal double " flower shape but I don't know which one it is,
