Very nice Jeff. I had a Chansonette planted out and it died on me. I need to find it again.

How are your Yuletides doing? Mine are blooming pretty well now. I'll try to post a pic. If yours are blooming I'd like to see that too.

hi alan,
i don't have a 'yuletide' camellia. i may get one with a gift certificate from a local nursery this year if they are stocking it.

I remember having a discussion with someone about Yuletide last year and I thought for sure it was you. Sorry. I have heard from a few people that say they don't care for it. Its kind of surpsrising to hear, as it is a wonderful plant. Admittedly it is slow growing. Still I really like the single red flowers.

Here is a single flower on one of mine about a month ago. I took some shots of the same plant yesterday but haven't uploaded them yet.
