So starting the next weekend now armed with the catalog we had acquired from Camellia Grove in which we marked all the camellias we would like to obtain. We set out in search of other nurseries that sold our precious flowers hopefully much cheaper than the last one.

The first ones we tried were “The Three Bears” at Pennant Hills, Hargraves & Swane’s at Dural. They all had a good collection of the three well known species to choose from, which are Japonica (this was my favorite), Sasanqua, and; Reticulata, and where cheaper than the Grove.
We made a few additions to our collection the first weekend one of which was Dahlohnega a beautiful white with a cream yellow tinge formal double bloom. (photo above)
And so our collection grew.
