Is anyone else growing these wonderful shrubs in New England? With the glossy evergreen leaves, great colors and flower forms and choice of spring and fall blooming (The latter especially welcome when the season is coming to an end!), it would seem that they are a good choice for many situations.

My "April Blush" opened its first bloom today and there are about 50 buds all together. I have another one as well, but it's a little slow this season since I had to transplant it last fall due to construction in the garden. I also have two "April Dawn" plants, and they are doing great, but too young to have blooms. I am quite sure they will have them next spring.

I also have a fall flowering "Snow Flurry" which is rock hardy and has a few hundred blooms from around mid-October into mid-December, weather permitting.

So I'd like feedback from anyone else who's growing Camellias here.
