Wattle Woods Camellias

All the Camellias in the Wattle Woods are planted in a gentle arc, starting from the back of the glass-house. They are all rejects, given a new lease of garden life at Mooseys. Can Camellias show gratitude? These shrubs seem to know how!

It took a few years to recover from the 'old' life - stuck underneath a large country Macracarpa hedge with little moisture. In fact, for their first years the rescued Camellias didn't flower at all. But by the year 2005 they were a regular feature of my spring journal ramblings. The words 'most beautiful' seemed to get rather a lot of use!

Flowering colours start and finish with pink (white and red are the middle). My latest plan is to redirect one of the Wattle Woods minor paths to follow their curve.
