Camellia

Oh that is a stunner Sid! Wonderful ruffly flower, but sorry don't know which it is. I can see a little fly in there....:o)

Oh, yeah. Didn't spot him before ;-)

Beautiful, Sid, hope you find out its name.

Ask the ant! lol. (Sorry Sid...I like camellia but can't grow them here, and I don't have a clue what it's name might be, sorry) does it smell heavenly? (great photo, too.)

Hi Lori - the ant didn't know either lol. Don't think Camellias are scented.....well this one isn't anyway!

Hi Sid Is this a Camellia japonica 'Margaret Davis' perhaps? I have two camelias - one is red and one is white. Yours has pink in it so it might be a mongrel - a mix of my two camellias.

Oh, hello Gf - welcome back! :-) I googled Margaret Davis and it doesn't look like that, but it could well be a hybrid, as you say. Hmph. Mongrel - oh really! lol
