Actually i wasnt thinking of flowers i was thinking of growing it for
tea. ANyways i have seen this camelia traned as a bonsai and i really
liked the how it looked with its flowers. When i grow plants that i would
like to try, its either because its: A: known to be culinary, and thus i
want to try it out, and B: if it has flowers i like, its because the
flowers are interesting to me, not to someone else =). (i really hope no
one gets the wrong impression about how the tone of this is!)
