24.01.2022 Nice bit of rain - not that we have had more than a sprinkle. There so many camellias in flower right now. Get you camellias directly from the grower. Camellia Glen, in Palmwoods on the Sunshine Coast, will be open to the public again this Friday 24 and Saturday 25 July 2020 - 8.00 to 3.00 - there are over 150 different varieties to choose from - plenty of choice. Most camellia plants are in 140mm pots and are $13 (with some species and reticulatas and selected vars $18). Ple...ase note - no eftpos and please byo carry bags. You can wander the garden - it is unkempt at the moment so apologies for that - but you can still see the flowers...... Camellia species Lutchuensis is a miniature single white flower, fragrant, and a great addition to any garden. It will prefer at least part shade but plenty of light. C.grijsii is a species camellia - a strong growing bush with single white flowers to 4-5cm and perfumed. Some say toothpaste or aniseed - depending on the individual Zenzhoucha is a hybrid camellia with grijsii in the parentage - it has a small white double flower perfumed similar to the parent and with fine foliage. And there are a few magnolias flowering too.... See more

23.01.2022 Camellias are loving this cool spell of weather - here are a few more that are flowering now. Aspasia Macarthur, and sports Just Sue and Lady Loch. And a big pink Reticulata/sasanqua hybrid Dream Girl.

22.01.2022 Camellia Glen in Palmwoods, Sunshine Coast, still has hundreds of camellias - sasanquas, japonicas, hybrids, fragrant ones, ones for hedges/screens, or just a spot in the garden. Best range of varieties with over 150 different varieties. 140mm pots. Open Friday 18 and Saturday 19 September 2020 8.00 to 3.00 - or by arrangement. Call direct. See the website or FB. Said to be in short supply - but not if you know where to look!

19.01.2022 An unusual japonica camellia and one seldom seen - ‘Masquerade’. Bush is quite low growing; flowers are an informal double and vary from white, white with some petals blushed pink, some are whíte striped pink, some pink and even half white and half pink. All on the same bush. It is a favourite.

18.01.2022 Camellia Japonica Scented Sun. It is fragrant and the flowers vary greatly on the same bush. Full of surprises - I like this one.

16.01.2022 And so, this weekend would have been Queensland Garden Expo at the Nambour Showgrounds - and unfortunately this too has been cancelled. For many years Camellia Glen has had a stand at the QGE with a great range of camellias. Get your camellias this Friday and Saturday 10 and 11 July 2020 direct from us - open 8.00 to 3.00 - and you will be able to choose from our entire range of sasanquas, japonicas, hybrids, and a diminishing range of reticulatas and species camellias. And you can wander our garden- there should be plenty in flower this weekend. Please byo carry bags and note we do not accept eftpos. See you then.

16.01.2022 Camellias are flowering their heads off at the moment - the sasanquas started weeks ago and now the japonicas and hybrids are starting. Here a few in our garden today. Camellia Glen is ‘open to the public’ again this Friday 5 and Saturday 6 June - 8.00 to 3.00. Check the details on the Camellia Glen website blog. www.camelliaglen.com Here are a few flowering today.... With the cancellation of all the camellia shows, come visit - get your camellia fix.....

09.01.2022 If you are looking for camellias this season, Camellia Glen, at Palmwoods, have just 3 more Fridays and Saturdays that are open to the public - 14 and 15, 21 and 22, and 28 and 29 August 2020 - 8.00 to 3.00. There is still a great range of sasanquas and japonicas and hybrids available - in 140mm pots - $13 - probably more varieties than you will see anywhere. You can view the 400 or so camellias (and magnolias and vireyas and azaleas) in the garden and then select some camel...lias for yours. Select your own from the display area or ask and you can get help with your selections - to make sure that what you get will suit the position. After this, Camellia Glen will be available by appointment - as usual. Just call 54450333 to arrange a convenient time. Current Covid-19 distancing rules apply. Please be patient and respect others. Come and visit. See more

08.01.2022 Sunday 5 July 2020 was the scheduled Queensland Camellia Society Annual Show and Sale at the Auditorium at the Mt Coottha Botanic Gardens. As previously advised, restriction and timings regarding Covid -19 has meant that the show has been cancelled - called some weeks ago as uncertainty reigned supreme. The QCS Show certainly plans to come back in 2021. Meanwhile, many people who look forward to adding to their camellia collection at this show have been satisfying their ne...ed - buying direct from Camellia Glen. Camellia Glen, in Palmwoods, has been supplying camellia plants for the QCS Show for many years and is open to the public again this Saturday 4 July 2020 - 8.00am to 3.00pm. An advantage of visiting direct is that there will be a vastly larger range of varieties available - from sasanquas, japonicas, hybrids, etc. See the website blog for details of this and future days open to the public. Camellia Glen is also available by arrangement - please call to arrange a time. No eftpos.

06.01.2022 A new discovery - for us - in our garden - Camellia Glen - Palmwoods. Camellia japonica Grace Albritton is a beautiful small formal double flower with a most interesting depth to the flower - and white with blush pink tips to the petals. Then we see a red flower - same size, same shape, same depth - but red. Grace Albritton is known to have a number of sports - but none that I can see as being red. We will mark this branch and see what it does next season.

04.01.2022 Camellia Glen will have camellias here - not a lot of flowers at this time of the year - but it will be fun.

01.01.2022 Camellia Cuttings Sometimes people ask how we grow our camellias - we say - by cuttings. So for those interested, here is our process. Remember that we are in SE Queensland so timeframes will be different in different locations....Continue reading
