Mine too have gone brown, but only from the white camilia - my pink one has not even flowered yet, it's a later variety. But I think most Camilias turn brown after flowering, which is a shame, because unless you pick them off the whole bush looses it's splendour.

We just leave the flowers to drop off and help to compost/mulch the ground.

Camelias apparently don't like early morning sun, so perhaps the position is the problem.

Or overnight frost but I suspect it is simply that they have flowered and the petals are now dying back.

often do this as they are dying off. though this can happen if they get frosted.
