        It is lovely isn't it @Jenny namaste ? But it's quite a small bloom compared to williamsii hybrids like Debbie. I love the anemone flowered white one. Which is it please?

        @noisette47 - is that Gelsemium actually inside? Or just sheltered? It looks cheery. And being perfumed, I'm tempted to try from seed...

          I don't know its name Caroline ....it was established in the border when we moved in 14 years ago. We have added 6 other Camellias since !

          ps.,, if you zoom in on the bloom, you can see the morning dew around the edge of the petals...
          like it has been dipped in sugar....

            Hello Caroline, it's under the roof overhang, so next to the house wall. The temporary frames are in place in front, so it's cool but frost-free :) I'd tried quite a few times from seed with spectacular lack of success, but plants seem to be more widely available nowadays.

                          Got a few pots of daffodils but these have just come out. Took the picture from the dining room because it's raining.
