Daikagura /George Adams

Daikagura is a fall blooming Japonica. It has nice Big Bright Pink flowers.  It usually blooms too late, and the flowers get ruined.
       But I Gibbed some of the flowers, this year ( Thanks to Jim )
       So it is blooming nicely now

           

Double Rainbow / Geroge Adams

      Another Great one, which is also one of my favorites
             It has proven to be quite hardy.  The flowers are very hardy, which is unusual for a light colored flower

?????.......... / George Adams

So I bought this plant from what was Roslyn Nursery, probably close to 10 years ago as Ville De Nantes.    It was just a stick in a pot when I got it, and this is the first time it has bloomed for me.  But It doesn`t look like what I know Ville De Nantes to look like. But it has the most Amazing candy apple red flowers.  It is a really great red.  So I am happy with it, no matter what it is





Carter`s Sunburst / George Adams

This is one of my faves.

So Late !....... / George Adams

  It is now April 19, and my camellias are not open yet.  I just can`t believe it !     I think this is the latest I have ever seen.  They look like they want to open, but they just aren`t doing it.   It is usually full bloom by mid April..........So Strange.   It has been cooler than normal for most of spring so far.  But not extremely so.                       I see other spring blooming plants that usually bloom at this time, proceeding to do so. Not sure what`s going on
