Written by

We are open again Saturday and Sunday, 8 and 9 October 2011, 8.00 am to 3.00 pm. We have had a few requests that we open again, so this will give folk another chance to visit.

We have many hundreds of Camellias, shared over about 200 varieties, all putting in new spring growth – all in 140mm pots.

Vireya rhododendron, also in 140mm pots, will be available. Spring is one of the major flowering times for many of the Vireyas and many of our stock and garden plants are in flower. We have over 50 varieties available for this weekend including:

Aura Magic, Barbara Alan, Beejay Bay, Brilliantine, Bold Janus, Butterfly Blush, Charming Valentino, Cristo Rey, Easter Bonnet, Fantasia, Frances, Golden Bower, Golden Charm, Goldilocks, Haloed Gold, Ivory Coast, Jean Baptiste, Jenzelle, Kisses, Laetum, Loranthiflorum x Laetum, Mango Mousse, Mellow Magic, Neesa, Orange Cascade, Orange Flambe, Pink Swan, Pink Dream, Pink Delight, Powerhouse, Richie, Robert Bates, Robert Withers, Sunburst, Sunset Fantasy, Sunset Gold 50, Sweet Rosalie, Toff, Troppo, Tropic Glow, Tequila Sunrise, Tiramisu, Valencia, Very Vermillion.

Numbers are limited for many varieties.

This is the first time we have opened specifically for Vireyas, so we hope we can satisfy the needs of some of you at least.

Just a quick reminder – the nursery will be open to the public this weekend – 2 & 3 July from 8am-3pm. After a little bit of rain recently the garden is refreshed and the blooms are beautiful – worth a wander.

We have arguably the most extensive range of camellia varieties in South East Queensland and we have hundreds of plants in stock. Check the variety list on the website – not all varieties are available at this stage in the season.

As well as that we have a plant stall at ‘Camellia House’ – part of the Australian Open Garden Scheme – at 116 Palmwoods/Woombye Road, Palmwoods, open 10am-4.30pm Saturday and Sunday, 2 & 3 July 2011.

Don’t forget next weekend – 8, 9 and 10 July 2011 – Queensland Garden Expo in Nambour – Queensland’s premier garden event. Check out their website on www.qldgardenexpo.com.au
