different coloured flowers.

Thought you might like to see my camelia, its had two different coloured flowers on it for a couple of years now.

 

V nice Pete. Was it originally all striped?

 

Yes i bought it as striped, but after a few years it started to grow the red ones. I suppose I should cut off the red flowering wood, but I sort of like it as it is.

 

You'll probably find that the red flowering part (being the natural colour) is more vigorous than the stipped bit and will eventually take over the entire plant.You know what they said in Jurasic Park 'nature will find a way'.

 

Yes I'll have to keep an eye on it.
Can't let nature take over.
