国内很多南方人养茶花，不知这里有没有人养。 You can try the website

The nursery is in USA. I think to order the plant is very expensive. You may try to get seeds and germinate them. My seedling is 9 month old. It is 15cm tall. The stem diamater is 3mm. 请教石针，camellia在国内有吗？ 中文叫什么名？

茶花。前一阵子做了一个coldframe, 想明年试试茶花。没有保护，大多地区没有办法过冬，所以户外种的人极少，据说本地也没有花店卖，最有可能是网上订。 You can try the website

Wow, l like start it from seeds! Where did you get the seeds and how's the germination rate? Any special treats need to give them? Thanks! 本帖最后由 云高天阔 于 2012-12-9 20:14 编辑

我在这里的苗圃看到有Tea Rose在卖, 我原以为Tea Rose就是茶花, 所以想知道和camellia的区别. I bought the seeds from ebay.com (USA site). I asked if the seller can ship them to Canada and I was will to pay more shipping fee. In USA, no one would buy seeds because you can get a one gallon pot of Camellia for $6.00.
You must buy the fresh seeds. I tried non-fresh seeds and get 0 germation rate. When I bought the fresh seeds, the description said they picked in Park near a red semi-double Camellia tree, I got 5/10 germination rate. Later 3 seedling were too weak and I lost one. I gave away two seedling. Now I have one is good and one is weak.
The treatment is that you need to use a nutcrack.Crack seeds lightly to remove shells. Be careful don't hurt the inside.Then soak them overnight.
I mix half perlite and half seedling mix in coconut shell pot. Bury them on the top of soil and spray them twice because I can't control myself seeing them many times a day. I got seedling between one week and two weeks.
There is a website you can read

Many thanks for the information! What's your plan to over winter them in the future? Since thay are not hardy Camellia. They are just camellia japonica. I have to take them indoor when the temperature reach near 0 degree. I never feed them indoor. I only water them sparingly on top. In the picture, Camellia is at back on the windowsill.
If a cold frame is working for the camellia, I will perfer to put it outside. i bought one camellia tree arround $80.00 in foody mart in Y2010 and there were over ten fragrant and very beautiful flowers opened. 我 在foodmart 花了大约 ＄80 买了一茶花 (Japanese Camellia). Would you please post a picture for us to enjoy?
