Q.Camellia Blooms
My young camellia produced two perfectly beautiful white blooms but then started producing buds that were brown even before they bloomed. When they bloomed, they were riddled with brown petals. What’s the problem and how do I correct it?

This may have been caused by a disease called flower blight. Here is more information on it:
