The camellia shrub was about 10-feet tall - more like a tree I had to reach to get this shot. Lucky me.
Did you know that this beautiful camellia is related to the plant that grows the tea you drink? True. I have a packet of Camellia sinensis seeds that I'm going to plant in the greenhouse this year.
Then ... Well, we'll see ...
Happy gardening!

I hope you keep us posted about the Camillia sinensis.I bet it takes a lot to keep you in tea for a year. :_
Lovely Camellia.^^
I have the Camellia sinensis for tea. You going to plant.
The seeds need four years for grow.
I bought the tree about 30cm height.
I do drink a lot of tea, EG. :)
I'm going to try, Maki. It seems as though it will be an investment in time also. Maybe I should keep my eyes open for a tree too! :)
Thanks for taking us on a walk with you. I love what I see. ;-)
