It's absolutely *gorgeous* - like a little hand tied posy in one flower. I'm going on a hunt for that! see.. http://www.rhododendrons.com/camelli...-all/1/alpha_M or if Ray is up for it you can always have a cutting or two. -- Regards Bob Hobden |

We'd love a cutting or two if you can spare them! Many thanks. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials online |

*Would C. Janie Anderson have come from Burncoose originally as it's one of the C. williamsii? No, it was raised by David Anderson in Worcestershire and named after his daughter. One of the parents was 'Donation', but I forget the other. He was also doing some work on the sasanquas including Nurumigata, but we didn't the results from those. |

When my son was born my ma in law brought a little posy of Camellias from the garden to me in hospital and I remember that Donation was one of them! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials online |
