| Beautiful!
What a lovely Camellia! It reminds me of a modern variety (that also blooms now), "Yuletide", in it's blossom shape, except 'Yuletide' is solid red. I really love the white edging.
I have several Camellias but they frustrate me as all have that blossom blight that makes the flowers turn brown almost imediately. I just don't have the patience to spray them with fungicide, plus I've heard it doesn't help much. I remember my mother's Camellias lasting for weeks, now I'm lucky if I get a flower to last 3 days.
Does your plant get the blight? I've heard early varieties seem to miss it somehow.
Very cool Camellia
