A couple years ago I got my first camelia.
Before then I had read about this plant, I had seen some of Tage Andersen´s perfect plants in Copenhagen, and I had passed one, with lovely flowers, in London.
When I bought my tiny little camelia, I knew that it would not survive an outdoor winter in The Blue Garden. But for the third (or may be it is the forth) year now, it survives in our hallway. Still my camelie has not given me any flowers since the first ones the year I bought it. But every spring I dream........and this year it looks quite promising :-)

Tage Andersen has written a beautiful books about camelias, in Danish.
