.....started blooming yesterday. First flowers are in very top of tree(~20') and getting detailed pic,even with 10X zoom, is difficult . Smaller specimens have buds within 6' of ground and should provide opportunity for some closeups!!!

Beautiful, conifer! I've been trying to find a stewartia to plant in the fall; does anyone know of a good online nursery that stocks it?
For some reason the native stewartias are impossible to find in nurseries. I have never seen S. ovata offered, and I have only seen S. malacodendron offered by one (Mail Order Natives). I don't know why they are so rare in the trade.

Apparently this plant is very rare on both fronts..........nurseries and its native haunts! The greatest concentrations I know of is on my property and I'm familiar with lots of "country".
Lots of blooms were open today and here is a detailed pic!!!

Guy, Let's back up the process one step!....Maybe I'll furnish the "Golden Eggs" for you "Green Thumbers"......

Man, my conifer50 seed order for fall is getting really big.
Golden eggs sound good to me, thanks! But please include some instructions because I understand they are tough to grow.
