Something about the fertilizer while being in a pot that prevents the red from fading out of it in it's last days.

Sadly I have lost a couple of unplanned purchases while I have desperately been trying to find a spot. Although I haven't the space for a camellia, I am lucky because my neighbour has planted a row of sasanquas along our fenceline and I get to enjoy them at a time when there is little out Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414496377660313372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-63941546270010443852011-12-24T08:13:54.277-08:002011-12-24T08:13:54.277-08:00Jess - Merry Christmas to you!
