In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin in Motown, z6 on January 8, 2025, 10:32 pm Another one of my seed-grown Camellia japonicas has begun blooming. This one has a red flower. The flowers are large. One covers the palm of my hand.. https://photos.app.goo.gl/LLfsDDjRH1GRRd6y7 https://photos.app.goo.gl/6Uo2mEVkCyjAS6vy9 The QUEEN'S TEARS, Billbergia nutans, a winter-blooming bromeliad, is about to bloom... https://photos.app.goo.gl/Y5ZiWPPcizcjoEmd9 - NEW PLANT - Who says things can't be planted, in January, here in Michigan, lol? Actually, this plant would be planted today, if the ground wasn't frozen, due to the current cold blast. In any event, this potted plant would be hardy enough to endure, z6 temps, unprotected.

Re: In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin, z6 on January 9, 2025, 8:39 pm, in reply to "Re: In My Garden Today" Thanks, Fred. I wish I knew what the variety of this Camellia is. Since the seed came from Camellia Forest, almost 15 yrs ago, and the seeds they sell, come from their nursery grounds, I'm thinking that it is a variety they sell. It might be on their online website. I may browse through their catalog, looking for it. Yeah, even parts of z8 are likely too cold, at the moment, for outdoor blooms. The Queen's Tears have now filled out their 2 gallon pot. I may divide, and replant som, next season, to keep it blooming well.
