It looks like the bad winter may result in much better budding.

Is this normal for camellia?

More likely to be the wet summer. *Buds are formed then, not in
winter. *Mine too has a mass of healthy buds.

I'm not sure about Camelias but the flower buds on a Rhododendron are
formed June/july of the preceding year, so if they dont get enough
water at that stage you dont get such good flowering the following
year, I would suspect the same is true for Camelias.
