Camellia

Last year I had to get rid of my camellias because they just didn't seem to survive in my garden which is a dreadful frost pocket at the best of times. I'm now coverting this beautiful plant which I'm told by the staff at the garden centre 'will grow anywhere'. The problem is that I believe them!
I wasn't given a middle name but if I had been it would have been 'gullible'!
