There is only one other problem with raising camellias.............they take so long to mature.......like Bird of Paradise. I am too old to wait three or four more years for a plant to bloom. I am not kidding. LOL At my age I need instant flowers. NO SEEDS for me Linda Honey. HA! You know I can not do seeds. That is a standing joke around people who know me. They do not believe I can not grow seeds. But it is a proven fact.

Here is my April Tryst. It is a wonderful plant. I bought a mature plant because they are such slow growers and I wanted a house plant I could enjoy. I have had two years of enjoyment so far. Love it.

Linda, you are so right, fragrance would be nice since the flowers are so beautiful.
