What is up with my camelia?

i have a camelia that i just moved out of a pot. some of it buds have some kind of fuzz on it. i am not sure what it is. the leaves are fine i do not see any bugs on it but i do see a bird's mess on one of its leaves. but what is causing the buds to be fuzzy? and do cameliad bloom all year long in north florida?

What is up with my camelia?
The fuzz could simply be related to the type of camellia that you have. Camellia sinesis (the tea plant), for example, has a fuzzy bud.





Blooming is part of the plant's reproductive cycle, so it is unlikely that it will bloom continuously for the entire year -- "cycle" being the operative word! Every plant needs a rest period.
