This is just a perfect bloom. It's really stunning.

You have a lovely collection of plants - difficult to say which I like best but I think this one just has the edge - beautiful.

I'm with you guys! This Camellia is growing outside my kitchen window and it's been flirting with me for weeks, saying c'mon you know you want to photograph me...look how pretty I am." Yesterday I finally went out and took a ton photos of this bush/tree. It's at least 8-9 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide. It's loaded with flowers all at different stages and it appears to have two different, but similar looking flowers. Plus, I totally neglect this plant. I hardly ever water it. I'll post more pics of this one today :)
