Camellias are so nice, they should be coming into bloom here in Florida. Maybe I can ask my friend Will if I can record his camellias which some his grandfather planted back in the 1930's and 1940's. I'd like to get a few sinensis to produce my own tea.

It would be great if you could make that video. I would love to see it. Camellia sinensis isn't very showy but it's fun to make the tea and it really tastes great, even in Ireland's lousy climate 🤗

I love love love Camellias. My soil is not acid and tried several times to grow them in pots but they do not do well either. I guess I do not give them enough moisture, they also dry too fast in our summer. But north of Portugal they grow wonderfully and we can see huge specimen in gardens planted in the ground.

That is unfortunate. I saw amazing camellia trees in Madeira but they were not in bloom so I was so pleased to catch this collection in flower. I am lucky because camellias do really well in my garden so I feel some purchases coming on 🤗

That is a shame, Michael, but I guess we need to take the lead from our gardens. There is no point in growing something that is always struggling. Besides, you grow a heap of amazing stuff in Florida 😁

Here, from June through August, it really doesn't unless storms come through late. (last summer was horrible, it was quite dry and most days started at 85)

Estan bellisimas estas camelias, pero las tienen protegidas en invernaderos ya que Alemania es muy frío. Una hermosa colecciones de camelias. Saludos desde México City. En México City crecen estupendas al aire libre, tengo una colección personal de aproximadamente 50 y estan fantasticas, gracias al buen clima en esta ciudad, así como suelos ácidos y bien drenados de tipo volcánico. El video esta SUPER. Felicidades.

Gorgeous flowers💐💐❤️ what is the cause of camellia’s flowers go brown? - where to plant camellia sun or shade?

@GardeningatDouentza 3 жыл бұрын

Camellia flowers will go brown with a late frost. They will also go brown if they get early morning sun because they often have dew on their petals at that time and the sun burns them. Camellias like a sheltered position in dappled shade where they are not exposed to morning sun. Hope this helps.

Really wonderful plants that can be a floriferous precursor to azaleas and Rhododendrons. As you noted they must be sighted correctly and given a moist, rich acid soil. It’s very sad when you see the lovely petals turning brown and mushy prematurely due to incorrect culture, though some years it can be inclement weather that mars their beauty. Personally, I think they make a nice deep green, waxy leaved foliage plant, when not in bloom.

Btw, if you want a baobab (Adansonia digitata) in your life, I will be selling some for 5 euros each pot in a few months (every pot will have two plants, they have germinated already, but I have to pot them yet), when they get bigger. I will be selling seeds too, cause I have lots of them now, and I am not going to plant like 150 baobabs.
