| Spring flowers Some plants, mainly camellia, have been competing with the winter shrubs of Daphne, Mahonia and Hamamelis for winter glory. Camellia x williamsii ‘November pink' has been in flower since December right through the cold, with a bit of bruising on the petals and is still in full bloom now. The earliest of the ‘Spring' flowering camellia are C x williamsii ‘St Ewe', C.japonica ‘Lovelight' and seedlings of C.saluenensis.
