Camellia sasanqua did well in its tiny pot. Positioned at a shady spot, it only gets one hour of early morning sunlight. Well watered and fertilized, it rewarded me with twice as many buds as last year. The wire has now bee removed and it will get its first pruning in spring next year.

For those who say "this is not a bonsai" about my Camellia sasanqua:  here is one at the Omya Village, the bonsai mekka, dated March 2026

Loving it for its late beautiful flowers

Yes, Camellia sasanqua blooms around Christmas time, that makes it quite unique
