Hi All,
I bought a beautiful Camellia plant last Thursday from Dobbies, brought it home and planted in a pot with ericaceous compost. It was beautiful has 2 large blooms and lots and lots of pert little buds.
My problem is this the two large flowers fell/off within a few days and this morning a bud or two was off also????
It has been raining a lot here and i thought maybe the wind had taken the flowers off but the buds too........Hmmm could it be birds?

It was outside verdun
the leaves were lovely and shiny too and now they seem dusty and patchy...
I thought buying with buds was the right way to go as it still had to flower.....
I will double check the draining holes when i get home Verdun
but I'm almost positive it does. I haven't watered as the rain has been really heavy since Friday.....Also when you say prune it out do you mean snip off the top from just above a set of leaves?
Thank you for your help
