I have an offer to anyone interested---just don't ask me how to go about it..

As many of you know--I have the most beautiful,Camellia bush. "Bob Hope".
95%of the bloom buds all froze last winter-so it did not have any blooms to
speak of this spring.
Relieved of the burden of blooming, My Camellia, instead, grew wider and wider
and is now a bit too tall and too sprawled.

I would like to trim it back a bit--all around...and this is the ideal time to do so-
according to my old Mentor--Mike Quinn in GA,

Now--rooting camellia cuttings is not an easy thing. Woody cuttings take some
special know-how. Mike Quinn knew how--and I once sent him a box-full
of cuttings. he rooted all of them.

If any of you want to try to root some of these cuttings--let me know and i will
bring them to the swap.

My Camellia is, truly, beautiful. Triple red blooms with a yellow throat. HUGE!
It usually blooms some time April/May.

Here's some pictures....LMK if you would like to try it...
