I'm relatively new to Camellia and was wondering whether anyone can provide some info on the grape soda, bob's tinsie and the nitissida. I'm into the more unique and unusual blooms and was wondering these are worth to add to my collection. Also is the grape soda really purple? hard to find any pics online. And with the bob's tinsie, is the flower as striking as what they seem online or are they very small that they're barely noticeable? Is the nitissida a shy bloomer, i.e it need to be a certain age to bloom? Finally can you grow these in a container or pot?
Thanks,
Ed

I have a seedling from Grape Soda X Black Magic. However the seedling flower is deep red with slightly purple vein, little of purple. But I have many of the same cross, one of them might be in very dark color.
