Congratulations Mike, it's a beauty....
I have many old japanica's around my place, including my japanese garden and pond.
to fill out your history, you would never find them in samurai's garden's because their fleeting length of flower life reminded them of their possibly short life if so called to fight.
from a koi perspective, the fukerin is well established for such a young plant (LOL)
nice to see another japanese history nut. The large edo style hand carved granite lantern that's in the entrance garden to my home would look excellent
near your camellia. But it resides now off to the side of my scultured japanese black pine in front of the moon maple....
