Weird / by George Adams

Normally my camellias are in full bloom by now.Yet only Korean Fire has opened up so far. Camellias usually are opening at the same time as the Forsythia around here...........I have seen Forsythia blooming for more than a week now. Yet my camellias refuse to open up. What is going on? It has been cooler than normal, especially the beginning of spring. But it hasn`t been that cold, the temperatures arent too cold for camellias to flower. It hasn`t dropped below freezing since the end of March. What are they scared of ? The flower buds are not dead, They keep getting larger and showing color, but they just will not open.............Weird
