Vase full of Sunburst / George Adams


I needed to prune my Carter`s Sunburst Camellia. Didn`t want to sacrifice the flowers . But think that sooner is probably better, in order to get the plant back on track. So I ended up with a vase full of flowers. Few things are as beautiful as a vase full of big camellia blooms

Dixie Knight / George Adams




Love this one......Amazing rich red with pure white markings
 Think it may not technically be know to be hardy here. But I have had it for two years in a perfect sheltered spot, and it is doing well

Still Going-Korean Fire / George Adams


My Korean Fire plant has put on an impressive show this year. Although it is down to its last flowers. It has been blooming since January ! ............That`s four months !
It didn`t put on the huge show I was hoping for. As it would have ,if all the flowers bloomed at the same time. But 4 months of flowers is pretty cool
