Max my husband & I started growing camellias in 1974. We already had a few large ones in our garden but we wanted more. That is where the obsession started.Max knew of a few nurserys that grew camellias so seeing it was camellia season we thought we would go look at a few.
The first one we went to was called "Camellia Grove" which was at St Ives.
Big Mistake because of this place we really fell in love with these wondeful flowers for here there was so many different colours shapes and sizes we didn't know which ones we wanted. "Camellia Grove was one of the dearest nurserys ( so we found out), but I really fell in love with one called "Button N Bows" (photo above). Our collection had started.
This is a really good start Judy. You've really got the idea. Marg

I don't suppose Camelia Grove is related to our Peter by any chance.
