Hello Lenkin Design!
Liked your post (as you know I would).
What are your favorite camillias?
My favorite from the "old-timers" planted by my Mom is Audolph Audison. It lives at the front corner of my house, is pruned in an
artistic, curvy way. winding its way up to the roof where I make it stop- but it would keep going if i would let it! I call it "peppermint striped" but it's not really striped but varigated and blooms like crazy!
Two of my purchases were "Buttons and Bows", a pretty ruffled pink" and "Snow Drop" (I think that's the name), a bush that blooms like flowering branches with very small, pinkish white flowers.
