Author Message   Butrscoch  My Weather Posted on Saturday, April 12, 2008 - 04:41 pm EST :    I recently purchased my very first Camellia which will be shipped to me in May. I just can't wait! I ordered camellia donation as my first but have my eye on a cultivar called Chow's Han Ling for a possible second purchase. I am not sure as of yet where I can find this one either, or who offers it for mail order? I am also still somewhat puzzled about plants which seem to flower differently. sometimes you see a photo with stamens showing and other times not on the semi-doubles anyway. I am also doing tub culture since my climate is too severely cold for this plant group. I also do tropical hibiscus and plumeria so am venturing into camellia as well. Any tips or info especially on Chow's Han Ling would be appreciated. Thank you Butrscoch Butrscoch - North Dakota , Zone "3 - 4"   Luis_pr  My Time Posted on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 05:57 am EST :    Growquest in California has it for sale but I do not know if they ship were you live or if you have to purchase through a local nursery.

I once considered it when I saw the large double red blooms but ran into -er- difficulties. I was going to grow it in the ground and it likes milder winter regions. Since I am in Zone 8, bordering Zone 7, I considered container growing & gave up hope when I noticed how much the pooches like the mulch in the existing containers.... :0( Good luck growing Chow's Han Ling and Mathotiana!
