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

Sunnyside / George Adams



I got this one from Nuccio`s . Not sure if it will actually prove hardy here. It did great this year. But this winter was hardly a test.
It is fun to experiment.........unless the experiment fails :( .....we will see

I found this camellia on a mailorder site online. It looks promising, I love red and white variegated flowers, and have been trying to get this striped kind for a while. The plant is too small to plant out yet. But it is supposed to be hardy to zone 7
