Sudden beauty

Our camellia has burst into flower now the weather is a bit warmer. It is in a sheltered position and because we have chalky soil it cannot go out in the garden and is in a large pot. It seems to be flourishing. The flowers this year are larger than usual and I think this could be because of last year's wet summer. This is when camellias and rhododendrons are making their next year's flowers. I'm looking forward to seeing what our potted rhododendron has in store for us.
