C. sasanqua is early, of course but this struck us as both *very* early and
generously flowering.



I assume you're certain about it being a C. sasanqua. We have C.jap.
Lavinia Maggi in flower ATM, and I know of a couple of specimens of
C.jap. High Hat that have been in flower since early November!


How annoying of you! I thought I had it pegged but ...... but
back to the drawing board. Could you tell me where you live (by email, if
you prefer)
Where Camellias are concerned, I am certain about *nothing*. I had an ex
father in law who was big fan of Camellias and grew them extensively and a
friend of his was Vi Lort-Phillips, an ex Pres of the Camellia Society (?)
Anything I wanted to know, I just asked them - made me very lazy. ;-(
Sorry!
