Warmer weather on its way to Melb Eric.
Spring is in the air.
Great well focused shot and large image as well.
Cheers Kev.

Brilliant!! I have been meaning to take some pictures of mine. I have a great, quadruple camellia tree at my back door. Is that a double variety?

I have a large one at the front door, it's great now considering it was burnt when it was 46C on black saturday. Most plants in the front yard were damaged or killed, any one in Melb get this problem?

Our camelias are nearly finished. We've had at least one of the four in bloom since about April. This shot is the one that comes into bloom first and was taken May 1. The tree is about 5 m across and flowers for 3 or 4 months.

Ummm.... It's a small shrub in a pot with leaves and flowery things on it. As you will gather, I'm not the gardening type. If it looks nice and it seems to be in the right place, water it. If not, Zero it!

I'll look at the tag hanging off it tomorrow and see if I learn anything and let you know

Camellia's generally will come in different varieties as well as single, double and triple flowers... This just means when it produces flowers they are clumped together, forming one big flower. I was asking if it was a double because, that second bud is coming through quite close. Te he he, I spend alot of time in the nursery at Bunnings.

OK, tag says "Camellia x williamsii" "beautiful, formal, clear pink flowers" "profuse, large, showy flowers"

Yes there are several buds close together.

My wife has the photo on her desktop now.
