Master Gardener Laura Simpson has water-saving tips as well as some good advice on caring for camelias.
Q. What tips do you have for spring lawn maintenance? Are there some things I can do to decrease my water usage without getting rid of my grass?
Mow more frequently, so you’re not removing too much length at a time. By removing less grass more often, the turf will be less stressed. Less stress means that the grass will put more energy into growing a deeper and more extensive root system, which comes in handy when the heat waves of summer arrive.
Inspect your irrigation system for mis-aimed or clogged sprinkler heads. Persistent brown spots are usually caused by incomplete sprinkler coverage. Take time to observe a complete sprinkler cycle to ensure that you’re not watering the sidewalk! Your photos show that the browning appears to be limited to the flowers and that the leaves look healthy. In this case, I suspect that your camellias are suffering from petal blight. This is a common fungal disease that causes flowers to brown and fall off.
