After the cold winter our camellia has many more buds than usual.

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

Is this normal for camellia?

Camellias need plenty of late summer sunshine (September/ October) to
initialize bud set, then a cold winter holds them back and you tend to
get a mass display
