Hey Jennifer-

I have camellias too. The first year I had ONE flower on ONE shrub. This year, they loaded up with buds but so far only Mrs. Charles Cobb is blooming- she is the one that bloomed last year too with the one sad flower. But I have other buds just waiting to open. My 2 that I planted last spring don't have a single bud. But yes, Camellias are slow growers and do take a while to fully mature and bloom. Yours looks great! :)
