I was crazy about Camellia since I moved in East Coast Area. We were driving around in the Savannah City, and saw some houses had blooming flowers in front of their house. It was on March 2011. Their blooming were so beautiful and intoxicating. To be honest, I never see Camellia Flower in my life, but I used to hear about them.
I had done a little research about this guy. so, I purchased 3 of 4" container Camellia plants from Home-Depo and Lowes in the spring of 2011. They were labelled as Camellia Sansaqua Red- Blood, Camellia Shi-Shi Pink and Mystery Color Camellia ( I don't know what the color will be ). They were inexpensive, they are about $6/container. I used to purchase young plants; they will grow anyway. Growing plants from baby or seeds are part of my passion.
I saw some buds grow along the branches in the end of summer. I was thinking, they would probably bloom in the end of winter or early spring as I saw in Downtown Savannah, but I was wrong. These guys are blooming in autumn.almost early winter.wow..I was so amazed and excited when I saw the little bud start to open..YAY my Camellia is blooming!!!! I love to immortalize every first blooming of my collection.
Here are some pictures of them .
The Shi Shi Pink Camellia
Above picture is Mystery Camellia until it blooms the name may be changed, the buds start to grow along the branches. So I am excited what the color will be.
