Camellia japonica 'Doctor King'

Not quite there but near enough. I don’t think any more of the buds will open, they’re so small but who knows ❤️ #camellia-doctor-king #camellia-japonica-doctor-king

Love the Red ones

Me too but this is a very contrary one 🙄😂 @hebelover

I have one that supposed to be Red, 5yrs no flowers

Hi Jane fingers crossed 🤞 they open they just need a little encouragement 🤔 @pelly

Even more contrary than mine then 😂 @hebelover

Thanks Karen, I’ll give it a feed tomorrow 👍🤞 @KOutdoors

I am sure encouragement us all it needs

I hope so 🤞 @joannie.a

Gorgeous colour♥️

Thanks Elise, it’s such a lovely one 🥰 @Auricula

This camellia didn’t flower at all last year and I didn’t think it was going to this year but it looks like I was wrong ❤️ #camellia-doctor-king

It looks like the gremlins are still playing 🙄

👏🏼my Dr King still has buds just like this, it seems to be a late one…yes gremlins are out…

Oh, that's reassuring Elaine, thank you ❤ @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

This camellia didn’t flower at all last year and I didn’t think it was going to this year but it looks like I was wrong ❤️ #camellia-doctor-king

Yep gremlins got me too. Hope you soon get a lovely camellia flower

Hi Jane yes Gremlins are on the move again. 🤔@p @pelly

Thanks Joan. These gremlins are getting to be a right royal pain 🙄 @joannie.a

Just what the Doctor ordered♥️

Absolutely Elise 👍 @Auricula

Lovely fat buds coming on the camellia and at least I don’t have to remember to keep it watered at the moment 🙄😂. Have a lovely day everyone 🙋‍♀️ #camellia-doctor-king #buds

👍👍👍

Thanks Belinda 💚 @belindah

At least the camellias are enjoying the rain! 😃

Morning Jane. Must have a look at mine ....love to see them budding up. Have a good one 👋🙂

I know, it’s been a miserable week hasn’t it and now we have gales moving in tomorrow and Sunday. It looks like I might get a couple of hours in the garden this morning before it rains again though 🤔 @anges

Morning Pauline, so do I. I hope you find some on yours 😍 @flof1952

Morning Jane 🙋‍♂️ ever since I moved mine from their pots into the ground they're doing well but haven't seen buds like yours 👍

Morning, like you nothing but rain here.

Good morning Jane that’s definitely a promise of spring 🤗

This one flowers early Jeremy, my white one which flowers later only has tiny buds 👍 @jpea

Morning Joan, it's so demoralising isn't it 😔 @joannie.a

Morning 🙋‍♀️ Doctor King has finally made it to the party 🌺 Have a lovely day everyone #camellia-doctor-king

Morning Jane, and most welcome he is 👋👋

Isn’t he wonderful!

He certainly is Jeremy, five buds opened together so it looking lovely 🌺 @jpea

He certainly is Dan, thank you 🌺 @dan5584

They are very similar Akshat 👍 @akshat

😅

Gorgeous ❤️

It might just make it for #bestofapril ❤️ #camellia-doctor-king

Nearly!! 😃❤

Morning Jane...❤️

Have you too dressed it Jason, it's surprising what a difference that can make? 🤔 @Jasonsparkes1

It's really teasing me Ange 🙄 @anges

Morning Elaine, thank you 🙋🙏 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Sounds like a good plan Jason, good luck 👍 @Jasonsparkes1

Morning Elise, thank you, I'm hoping it will open fully when the sun comes out ❤ @auricula

Morning everyone, will it be today I wonder? This camellia has been teasing me for a few days now. Have a good day 🙋‍♀️❤️ #camellia-doctor-king

Morning Jane....would be nice but....🤞🏼

Morning Elaine, hopefully....... with a bit of sun 🙋‍♀️🤞❤️🌞

Morning Jane, they do like to tease ... 💕😊

Morning Ange, don’t they just 🙋‍♀️🙄 @anges

Morning Jane ... it will be beautiful 💗

I hope so Julie ❤ @juliesgarden

Good morning Jane it’s ready to burst into flower lovely 🤗

Morning Enid, hopefully it will be today ❤ @godfreye

The sun is on it now and I'm checking every half an hour 🙄😂 @auricula

Definitely Elise, they are too slow for me though 😂 @auricula

I seem to have been waiting for such a long time for Doctor King to flower, hopefully it won't be long now ❤ #camellia-doctor-king

My pink one has been very poor flowering. I've only had two flowers from it since I planted it some weeks ago. Dr King hasn't stopped flowering. Hope yours blooms very soon ♥️♥️

Camellias take ages to open! I was waiting for weeks for mine to open and it did eventually but I was away in Poland 😂😂

I was hoping my white one would still be on the go but it's finished. That's typical isn't it 😂 We should have been in Krakow last weekend 😢

One final flowers, the others went over ages ago #camellia #camellia-doctor-king 31/5/19

Yes Jane same here! there’s always one that wants the final spotlight 🤩😂

Oh yes, can’t say I blame them though @telswirld 😂😂

I thought this had finished but it obviously had a hidden agenda (literally) it was hiding at the back of the plant #camellia #camelliajaponica #camellia-doctor-king 28/5/19

Evening Twin @pelly😂 I posted & said exactly the same a couple of days ago, how weird is that 😂😘

I’m beginning to think that nothing is weird where we are concerned Suzie 😱😂😘

Camellia with built in swimming pool #camellia #camellia-doctor-king #raininmay 8/5/19

Aww so beautiful #red color 😍

Thanks Jyoty @jyotu 😍😍

😄 gorgeous ❤️

Thanks Terri @telswirld 😍😍

#bestofnationalgardeningweek #camellia #camellia-doctor-king #camelliajaponica-doctor -king 4/5/19

Gorgeous colour ❤️ @pelly

Thanks Barbara, it was an Aldi special last year @jacaranda ❤❤

Beautiful 💕

It's a brilliant colour! Hoping my red Wilko one is going to be Dr King. I'll have to wait until next year to find out ❤

Thanks Marilyn @lovemygarden65 ❤❤

I was expecting bright red, but I prefer this. Fingers crossed for yours @ublaszko ❤😄

I would definitely prefer this saturated red. Dramatic but not too much in your face 😊

I agree @ublaszko 😍😍

I love this lip stick red...💋

It’s a lovely colour, thanks Elaine @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom ❤️❤️

A beauty Jane ❤👍

Cataloguing. 2/5/19

@midnightgardener this is mine 👍

@pelly I love it! Beautiful Jane. Do you know the name? Mind you it's not necessarily the same as mine. Sure is beautiful though ♥️♥️my next Camellia is the one @jearacake has. It's a bigger one too! I love big shrubs and plants 🤠♥️♥️

This is Dr. King, I thought it looked very similar 🤔 @midnightgardener

@pelly It sure is and I really seeing the other labels. I might have already replied. Sorry don't mean to bombard you. Thank you for this it saves me going back to check ♥️♥️

Mine had no label either, I got the name from someone on here, I can't remember who @midnightgardener 👍🤔

@pelly Well I thank you because I know it's the right one. Sometimes all it needs is someone to jog our minds. I had completely forgotten until you said. Thank you again. Have a lovely weekend 🌸🌸

Glad to help. Enjoy your weekend to @midnightgardener 😍👍

@pelly I will thank you 🌸🌸
