Morning everyone. After our flying visit to Cornwall, I went into the garden and saw this year's first #flower on the #camellia 🎉🎉🎉 Been a long wait

Morning Susie. It was definitely worth the wait 😊

Aw thanks Lexi 😘 a few more look to be on the way but not a great show this year I think 😏 @lexijane

Morning Susie! It was worth waiting for! Very pretty!

Morning susie that's a gorgeous bloom so worth the wait 😘👍

Oh yes definitely worth the wait 😍

Lovely camellia,white flowers always look good @susieg

Evening Ian - it is rather lovely isn't it @bigemrg

Evening Jane and Nessa. I love it but I fear there won't be many this year thanks to Storm Doris @daisy-jane @nessas 😏

Evening Sam & Carole, I agree. I'm a big fan of white @Chester14

Beautiful 👌😍

Thanks Jeff 🤗 @jeatacake

Morning everyone. Still nothing. 😬 #camellia #whenwillitopen #buds

Morning Susie, mine are the same 🤔

They are almost there... Mine too!

Morning Susie! Won't be long now though! 😀

Will be lovely when they do I guess Julie 😬 @juliesgarden

Morning Jacqueline. Almost 😬@awomanonabike

Morning Ian. Hope not. Seems like ages 😬 @bigemrg

Morning Susie! And when they do, they'll be fabulous...so many buds! 😊😊

👍👍

They will! They will! 🤗 @awomanonabike

Morning Susie mine are exactly the same!

We'll all be so happy when they finally open Jan 🤗 @janric

Afternoon everyone. My beautiful #white #camellia has lots of #buds #signsoflife #signsofspring #londongarden

Awesome 😍 can't wait to see it in bloom 😊

Thanks John. It's been in a pot for years and this is its second winter in a bed and it seems to be pretty happy @ukjohnny

Thank you Gyn & Katy and Rula. It's one of my favourite plants in the garden 💕 @gjones and @sabbanrula

Snap 😄 yours is looking great Susie 😍

🤗 hee hee and thank you Jan @janric

Big, fat buds!

Yes it won't be long now Katie! 🤗 @brightcolours

Lots of loveliness just waiting to open! 👌🏼💚

Yes 🤗 almost ready to pop Rachel, like I feel right now after dinner with niece! Sleep well x @rachelbrooks

Ahhh lovely! You too ☺️

Morning all, looking forward to spring! Have a great day 🤗

Good morning Susie! Looks like you're going to have a beautiful display in spring!

Morning Susie looking forward to seeing mine in spring 😍

Morning Susie lets hope none of them drop. Have a good day 😄

Morning Susie @susieg ......counting down the months until spring. Enjoy your day :)

Morning Susie I see yours has the good grace not to show itself early! 🙈 what colour is this? Do I remember you saying white?

Yes I hope so Ian - it's quite prolific 🤗 @bigemrg

Morning Nessa - they are fab plants aren't they @nessas

Hi Angie - yes fingers crossed but tbh a few always do but it doesn't really matter as there are so many anyway @angiecrazycatlady

Morning Pauline yes me too 🤗 have a good day @flof1952

Morning Rachel and yes that's right, white (tbf if you guessed pink or white for most of my plants you'd have a pretty high hit rate 😊). And it seems to be playing by the rules so far. Was it just one flower that appeared on yours or has it gone all out? @rachelbrooks

Well I didn't like to assume! 😜 I now have two flowers 😬 both on the same stem, but there are a few buds on other stems that look like they're going to appear soon too! 😳 They can pack it in...I'm only looking forward to February for the Camellia flowers! 😁 and speaking of pink and white...I need a rambling rose to plant through my fir trees, am trying to avoid pink or white (already so many!) but despite the plethora of colours I still keep coming back to them!

Morning everyone! Lots of #buds forming on my #camellia so it's important to keep watering it at the moment #tipsfortuesday

Morning Susie, that is going to be glorious in spring 💖

Morning! 🙋

#etrcarlyon

Morning Julie @vec - yes I'm hoping so. 🙏🏼 it's usually covered in white blooms. Aren't camellias ace!

Morning @beckers1974 and thanks @brightcolours 🤗

Good morning Susie 😀

Yes they are. I've got a couple 😍

Morning @yodamama 🙋🏼

Umm...morning! 🙋🏻😂😂 and look at all they lovelies ready to emerge! 💕💕 I have finally planted one this year and it has lots of buds on too! 👍🏼👍🏼 I will have to post a pic next year of my father in laws' Camellias - they are HUGE! and thoroughly beautiful 👌🏼

Ooh yes do @rachelbrooks I love camellias. What colour is the one you've just bought? 💕

Oops sorry Susie - missed this one (and you tagged me! 😬) mine is William Bartlett - the flowers can be almost white/very pale pink with darker pink streaks (quelle surprise!) 😊

These lovely leaves look as if they have been varnished. So glossy.
