The
Dresden Camellia has a special greenhouse which is wheeled over
this
very large shrub every winter to ensure its survival and it's
*huge*
- very impressive arrangement.

Three not very good pictures:

And with the house in place, with people for scale:

Thanks for doing that, Mike. The customer sent us pics but I
hadn't
gone looking around for more.

It was my awed pleasure. I meant to mention that one of the sites I
found reckons the thing puts out 35,000 flowers at a time. A
must-see, I think.

The garden is called "English-style" in German, the place houses a
horticultural college (which is promising), and it only costs a euro
to get in. I do hope some urgler will tell us about it soon.
