| I have numerous buds of Camelia Japonicas....but none have bloomed yet. Is it too early or is something wrong? Same with Gardenias too.....lot of buds. But they brown out and die. What am I doing wrong? Bob |

| Where do you live and what has your winter been like? And what are your varieties? It may be too early for your particular variety. |

| Indeed, many many years ago, I had a sudden drop of temperatures in December that was apparently timed such that my normally Dec-Jan blooming camellias actually bloomed in March. So now I am never taken aback when the blooming time is delayed again. But if your camellias are of the type that bloom later then you just need to wait. In case you do not know what variety you have then just let them be until they bloom. At that time, make a note in a wall calendar so you will remember in future years. If you know what camellia variety you have, you can list the name here so someone can search normal blooming times for you. You can also do an Internet search as well. If your variety is called "x" then do a find in yahoo/google/etc for "camellia x" and select pages belonging to mail order companies or plant wholesalers. They will indicate the blooming time with terms like 'early blooming', etc. |
