If you have a particular tone in mind it’s best to buy them while they are in flower, and in person, so you can see the colour in real life. There are now hundreds of named cultivars of sasanquas, in colours that range from white through variously hued pinks to red. “We grow pink-edged white ‘Pure Silk’ and soft pink ‘Jennifer Susan’ in that lollipop form,” he says, “and we also graft ground cover sasanquas to create sweeping standards which are really something, with beautiful cascading foliage and flowers.” Camellia Grove uses pink ‘Marge Miller’ and white ‘Snow’ for its weeping standards. Ross Campbell, a third-generation camellia grower from Camellia Grove Nursery in Glenorie, adds that standard sasanquas have become more popular over recent years. They also suit being espaliered along a fence, and will grow happily in a pot. Or they can be planted close together and clipped into a hedge, with different varieties offering height options from one to five metres.

I didn't understand what it meant at all, so I had to look it up.Sasanquas can be grown as a small tree, with the lower and crossing branches removed to lift the canopy and show off a skeleton of twisting branches topped by clouds of glossy foliage. For example, the first time I heard of the acronym was when I was on an online message board. Unlike some of the other phrases such as "LOL", SMH is is bit more unusual, if that makes sense.

In my opinion, I feel like acronyms such as SMH are one of those obscure phrases that should only be used if people already know what it means. Besides, if you were on an online message board, you wouldn't actually say "laugh out loud", now would you? The funny thing about a lot of acronyms and phrases is that once you learn them, not only do they become a natural part of your language, but even more so, saying the acronym itself (especially when online) makes a lot more sense that saying the full phrase.įor example, if someone online found a joke to be very funny, the reason why LOL makes so much sense, is because it's an abbreviation of what you're trying to say, and it really fits the language that we see so often on the internet.
