I have been so sad since my old camellia died and the space in my bedroom was so empty I had to fill it, so, I have decided I wanted something with a nice odor that I could put out in the summer. I found a Fragrant Tea Olive (osmanthus fragrams). It arrived yesterday and considering the size of it, I am so pleased with the condition it is in. I paid $24.99 for it, free shipping and it was packed very well. Compared to the small ones at Logee's I feel I got a real bargain. It only took it overnight to perk up and it is a lovely healthy plant. Had to share it with you all.

Looks good , should be nice when it blooms

JB--
Our HD has really pretty Camelias for sale--in 3gal pots. Blooms are pink. #24.98

We had some red ones too--very much like the one I have by my front entrance.
$ 40.
I bought one of these to give to Benita. It just got blown over in this crazy wind today. There There is some damage......bummer!

I know there are some beauties out there now but I am at the point where I am telling myself I am downsizing since I am old. I am not sure if I want to invest in another camellia since they are so loved by that miserable scale.
