After the cold winter our camellia has many more buds than usual.
It looks like the bad winter may result in much better budding.
Is this normal for camellia?

Although I am unsure whether it's normal or not our camellias are
certainly bud laden this year as are those in friends gardens. Let's
hope we don't get an ill timed late frost to blight the show. Last
couple of years our plum blossoms were blasted - only a handful of fruit
as opposed to the normal heavy crop.
Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed indeed. Ours are also heavy with buds but is it the
cold - doubt it - or is it some other kind of stress they've been under?

Like what? Isn't cold a stress?

Not at the bud forming stage, I would suggest. I'm no Camellia expert
but I hope someone will be. Some Camellias flower early (or late
depending on our pov) especially the C. sasanquas so they've not
undergone particularly cold conditions before flowering. Others, which
we're hoping to enjoy a little later are groaning with buds, too.
