Is that flowers or autumn leaves on the tree? Wonderful colour either way

Do you know its name? Mine (just planted) is called 'Rubin' and it will have red flowers like yours. It's in bud at the moment.

Do you find the flowers of this show up at a distance; I planted 'Pallida' (pale yellow flowers) against a dark background for this reason. I guess a blue-grey conifer would make a suitable background to this one or any of the orange-flowered varieties

ha-ha! it's opened! looks great spritz! - much brighter colour than mine! mine is up against a dark green fence and it catches your eye from the patio or house. but i don't have a huge garden so it is'nt that far away anyway.

Andrew, you are quite right about it needing a lighter backgound to show it off. As it is against a grey wall, I might have to grow a light variegated ivy up behind it, I think. I shall wait until it's full out and have another think. It's beautiful close up, though!

Yes, I think so. Lovely, isn't it. I have now planted a variegated ivy behind it to show off the colour more from a distance. Great improvement, even while the ivy is a baby! I'll take its photo again tomorrow if I can.

Lovely close-up, majeeka. My camera is still being mended, and I can't get used to the old one!

This does smell fantastic. i also want a red/orange one, it's on my list of wants. I usually wait till they have finished flowering, then the garden centre's usually sell them off cheap.

Members' notes...

majeekahead

fragrant spider shape frost resistant flowers in winter - origin woodlands, woodland margins and river banks in e.Asia & N.America. fully hardy - moist well drained soil - acidic to neutral full sun/semi shade open but not too exposed site
* Pest and diseases : honey fungus and coral spot can be a problem

i think i have the conditions for this spot on, i bought it from michael on ebay summer 2007 - i have planted it along the right hand fence under the apple tree from next door has all aspects that it like and it seems to be doing really well!

late march 2008 i have moved it from the woodland area into the corner of the red and blue area at the back, which still has dapled shade, but also it will have more room here. and will cover the ugly area much quicker than the Camellia. i think it would have eventually got too big and looked out of place.

Just planted for new winter colour.
