    Hi,
    When I was doing a fall clean up of the garden I discovered these all over the undersides of the leaves of the lower branches of my camellia. The plant does not seem to be bothered but I would like to know what they are, thanks in advance!

    I don't know, but they will probably make a chickadee happy!

    Thanks for the advice :) Yes, it is cottony camellia scale. I have bookmarked the resource, very helpful.
