This is one of the better examples of my"Bi-Polar" - hi-jacked SUPER hybrid camellias - You can SEE the pure Snow-White & VIVID Lipstick hot pinks she was borne of! The plant TRIES to REVERT back to it's pre-grafted hybrids so we have LOADS of everything from the darrrrkk solidly striped hot pink blooms - to nearly translucent white solid blooms & everything in between on ONE bush!! I train my camellias to grow into tree-form / topiaries. So they are bare at they're "trunks" & perfectly ROUNDED out at their "tree-tops"! This one is over 7 feet tall now & spreads about 6-8 feet at her fulllest point. You'd THINK that whacking these beauties constantly shaping & plucking the new growth to maintain the topiary shaping would KILL them - or prevent them from blooming. NEITHER is the case!
Hope you enjoy them & REMEMBER to CLICK ON the photo - to go to a much LARGER version! Always - Teri -aka- "Buzzzy" - © The Dream Spinner
