Camellias are flowering now – why not mine?

Can Camellias be grown in pots and flower just as beautifully?

Does the Brisbane Botanic Gardens have Camellias with historical stories to tell?

My Camellia flowers drop off without opening.  What can I do to fix it?

I have seen a particular Camellia I would like to grow but don’t see it in the nurseries.  How can I grow it from a cutting?

All your questions can be answered by expert Camellia growers, Darryl & Steph Baptie.
