Again nice photo and in particular your beautiful Camellia. Ours is still in tight bud even though both are in tubs and in a sheltered area from wind and frost. Herefordshire is a relatively mild county but this year we do seem to be lagging a bit with various plants and flowers, strange as that might be, not having so far a hard winter.

Apologies for not getting back to you HH. Couldn’t get a reply to load yesterday. Brue has it covered though๐ You can take soft growth cuttings as well.
My amaryllis is doing great. Around 24 inches tall, two strong flower stems. One done, one in full glory.
Hoping to get some seeds in later this afternoon….in between building a shower cubicle๐ฏ

HH try a top feed with ericacious granules. We don't have a very acid soil so a top up helps outside or in pots. Having said that we were at Stourhead this week and their Camellias had yellowing leaves. Maybe all the rain has leached out nutrients in the soil this year?
Look forward to seeing your Amaryllis TDA. I miss having a few around but I've gone over to keeping geraniums all year round in our conservatory and just don't have any space.
I sowed some Cosmos and Coleus seeds this week, OH is ahead of me with all his tomato seeds etc.
Happy gardening everyone!๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ป
