Or you could just buy the plants, which have been available domestically for some years now.

Thanks I got one. But am looking for one with a pinkish

blush towards the center. I hoped that my message might

get to those who don't mind seeds. As I understand from

an old article( 1990s )that appeared in the publication

Camelias and Rhododendrons it takes about 6 years or less

for seedlings to bloom. The seedling I bought bloomed in

2 years it was only a foot when I got it.
