I have two camellias - a Scentsation and an In-the-Pink - both japonicas. The In-the-Pink bloomed last season, single flower, then this year it has quite a few double flowers.

They are lovely, (except for the damage from the rain recently), but the stems don't appear to be strong enough to hold the extra weight. Is it normal for camellias to have double flowers on weak stems or should I prune in some way to make them stronger?
