"Thank you for a most informative article on Camellias. I was very grateful for it, because last year I bought 3 and I love them, but I am getting a lot of brown heading, but the flowers underneath leaves which are protected are beautiful. I thought it was the wind but now I know its probably frost. Thanks for this very informative article. "
