amazing! I would've thought they'd be harder to grow where you are.

but there you go!

Lovely camellias girls!

Our white one has almost finished flowering, the red one is mid-way through and the third one is only in bud at the moment.  That last one has never been as prolific as the other two but they are all as tall as (and the white one a little taller) than the gutterings.

They are on the south side of the house and enjoy quite a bit of shade.  They are also protected by our huge tipuana trees (which are actually overdue for cutting back)

Sorry - no pics on computer at the moment

j*oono that 'once was a stick with a flower' has done really, really well!  Is that in an area where there might be some sheep manure?

I'm amazed at how well Joono.s camellia has done Laney.. I remember the flower on top of a stick, doesn't seem that long ago

It's right on the fence line Laney.  I suppose the roots would reach where the sheep are at times.

Yes Deb it is amazing to see now.

j*oono I suspect that the nutrients from the sheep manure might leach through the soil - they love, love, love sheep manure lol

Talking of which there is thankfully a dearth of it around these days 

Plenty of drama queens though 

Has anyone heard about the plan to remove the apostrophe from 'general usage' - compliments of the Plain English Foundation?

Quelle horreur for we punctuation pedants 

yep

no I hadn't heard about that plan Laney

maybe thats  it??

I think that's a great idea.  I use it everywhere, even whe're it's not suppose'd to go.

Hmm I haven't got a sheep around the garden, I do like using sea sol though. I find that's pretty good too
