The Camellia of the Week

This is an example of a petal with blotchy colors–here they’re (obviously) bright red and white.
The flowers almost never have a fragrance.
I don’t recall the name of this one but I do know that we bought it from local growers, the Hardisons, in about 1989.
These are very big flowers, about as big as my hand.

Enjoy!

Gorgeous. Mine are just not that big, but we have had a lot of cold and rain lately. And I neglect them shamefully, now that you mention it.
