I’ve only seen white ones and knew there were pink ones, but have never seen a red one! I’ll bet it’s gorgeous! It’s nice that they’re blooming at Easter time!
The red ones are really a dark pink. I think they’re prettier than the basic pink ones and just lucked onto this one. Poor thing was almost dead from neglect at the store when I bought it and I nursed that little tree big time its first year here. We had a drought that summer, too, which made success pretty iffy.
It didn’t grow much the first couple of years - - just put its energy into surviving ad getting stronger. Then it took off and has grown quite a bit since then.
It WILL be nice to have them blooming at Easter time.
And the pink camellia bush is still blooming in the back yard too. Add the daffodils and it will be a nicely colorful weekend.
