When I figure out how to operate my greenhouse better, I'm hoping to get one in there, though it will still probably have to be one of the more cold hardy ones!Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004102653896371835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-32336308821868963902015-01-03T10:13:22.969-08:002015-01-03T10:13:22.969-08:00Oh yes, you do need a Camellia sasanqua.

Bondo putty is an automotive body filler and a brand name used by 3M for a line of American-made products for automotive, marine and household repairs. Spackle is a putty used to fill holes, small cracks, and other minor surface defects in wood, drywall, and plaster. Typically, spackling is composed of gypsum plaster from hydrated calcium sulfate, and glue. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-57235609000638613062015-01-03T02:08:16.944-08:002015-01-03T02:08:16.944-08:00Beautiful!

Interestingly, when they were first brought here from China and Japan, people didn't think they would be as hardy as they are and grew them as greenhouse plants.

Sadly, my climate is too cold for Camellias, and my first attempt to grow one in a pot (to bring inside for the winter) failed miserably -- even during the mild summer days when it should have been fine. I will have to appreciate them on your blog and in milder climates when I travel. But they are stunning plants!

There are also some japonicas that have a fragrance but I haven't noticed it to be as strong as the sasanquas. Gardening and curiosity about plants keeps my mind young and having all of my body parts replaced every 40 years or so keeps me spry. Also layer after layer of bondo and spackle. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-81408533511297471792015-01-02T18:28:50.729-08:002015-01-02T18:28:50.729-08:00They sure are!They sure are!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-67100419461099778772015-01-02T18:28:13.886-08:002015-01-02T18:28:13.886-08:00Of course you do!
