First blossoms I've seen on Camellia sasanqua, were this week.
A few of them on the variety Yuletide. I was not much of a Camellia fan until I discovered a few of these winter blooming Camellias. |

WOw! I have my Camellia sasanqua 'Yuletide' in a back corner. I better pull her out so I can keep an eye on her (she's in a pot). Thanks for reminding me MD, I kinda forgot about her...

My C. sasanqua 'Setsugekka' has been blooming at least 2 weeks, possibly close to 3. It is loaded with blooms and often continues blooming several weeks into the new year. I love it.

I've got 3 myself, not blooming yet but covered with buds. I think it's a plant everyone should have. The 'Yuletide' Camellias in containers at work are blooming too, it must be one of the earlier ones because the others aren't blooming yet. There's a new white one of the extra hardy ones, 'Snowman', that is supposed to be more narrow, upright, and compact, kind of like 'Yuletide'. That could make it more useful to people in some situations, like in containers.

I was surprised to see some blossom on a couple of my camellia transnokoensis a week or so back. Much like some of the sasanquas, small, cute flowers on graceful branching plants.
I normally expect these to bloom in spring, anybody else notice this one in bloom? I'll have to check my sasanqua too...they are way at the back of the yard and I'd forget about them if you all hadn't brought it up! I kinda prefer these smaller flowered types to the more common japonica varieties--the big japonica blooms so often suffer from either rain and/or frost in spring, the show is rarely very long/satisfying for me. |

I just saw a white one in a nursery last week - very nice.
Sort of like an apple blossom color and shape. And I like apple blossoms. |

I can testify to the truth to that statement! I took these photos at Lisa's on the 20th of October.
