I live in Atlanta, and am planning a wedding (well, my wedding) in my backyard for early October. I'm working on landscaping some shady areas in need of help, and wanted to plant some Camellias that do well in zone 7 and would be in bloom here in early October. I don't have any experience with them.

A preliminary search has given me the following suggestions:

Showa-no-sakae Camellia

Bonanza Camellia

Kanjiro Camellia

Jean May Camellia

Apple Blossom Camellia

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with these in my area, and if there are any other suggestions.

Thanks!!
