We'll be going back in 3-4 weeks for another set of photos and be watching for the zillions of hellebores in the garden to start blooming as well. A big hug goes out to Meg for taking such good notes and being so patient with me.
Camellia japonica October Affair One thing about this one stunning and kind of stached in the garden, one has to look for this beauty.
Camellia sasanqua
Camellia sasanqua Mine No Yuki Very showy and variable.
Camellia X Yoi Machi this one is a cross and has pink edges. Some resources I looked at called this an sasanqua.
Camellia japonica Elaine Lee
This was a good one too!
Camellia japonica Fairweather Favorite
Cold Tolerant how does this sound to you northerners!
Cold hardy to -26° C.
Camellia japonica Winter's Hope
This is a more cold tolerant camellia growing in zone 6-9
Camellia X Aston's Snow
Cold Tolerant how does this sound to you northerners!
Cold hardy to -26° C.
Camellia sasanqua Winter's Snowman

All those are beautiful. My neighbor has two blooming now and one full of buds. Helen
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I really need to plant some of those here in our garden. Tina has several that have done very well for her.
ReplyDeleteGosh they are beautiful! I'm glad you posted 'Snow flurry'. I just used it in a design I did in Nashville. It's an awesome double and I'd love to see it in person. Looking forward to the rest of the pictures. Kudos to Meg.
ReplyDeleteStunning photos and I know white camellias are not the easiest to photograph. I have "Snow Flurry" and "Mine No Yuki". I'd love to add "October Affair" - it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeauties one and all Randy. Do you think my white one from the Learning Garden could be the Setsugekka? Mine had the more mature blooms turning a light pink. Your photos are lovely.
ReplyDeletehere is the link to my post with the white Camellia in question

Beautiful flowers and amazing photographs. I love the more simple blossoms, the Setsugekka is my favorite also.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I just love 'October Affair'. I'd especially love it in my garden!
ReplyDeleteHelen,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure someday after enjoying the neighbors camellias you'll get some yourself.
Dave,
Easy to grow and make a good screen too.
Tina,
Are you a designer?
Phillip,
I agree October Affair resembles an Austin Rose to me.
Janet,
Yours looks like a Setsugekka to me or a close relative.
Michelle,
More photos coming soon the deep pinks are incredible!
Lynn,
October Affair the plant was also tall and well formed. We do not have any white camellias in our garden, yet.
Those white camellias are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty! I can't wait to see the only one I have open in the early spring. gail
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. I am envious of your camellias. We just cannot grow them here. Sometimes you see a pretty one, but they are usually extremely ugly, and expensive to boot. So, when the person who purchases this plant which does not grow well here, realize show ugly it is, they can't bring themselves to chuck it. Too much money down the drain. I think it is one of those Catch 22 things. LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Randy~~ Ooh la, la! A fabulous collection. C. s. 'Mine No Yuki' is my favorite. Is it true that sasanquas are fragrant? I'm looking forward to the PINKS!!
ReplyDeletesimply beautifully captured shots...lovely!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea there were so many cultivars! I inherited a white japonica, and I just call it "the white fall-blooming Camelia". Now I feel kind of ignorant.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful blog!!!
ReplyDeleteLove those Camellias, I grow a few of those. Your photography is beautiiful.
Sandra
Just found your blog as I'm desperately searching for vendors for the cold-hardy hybrid camellias. I'm especially looking for Winter's Moonlight and Ashton's Pink. Would you have any vendors you could point me to? Thanks!
