Thanks Maggi, it,s the memory you know. Not as good as it was in my day. Img. 1020471, camellia in garden. Img. 1020472, close up of flowers.

An absolute corker you have there, Ian.  Darker than my notion of Donation but that may just be me. 
What a great number of flowers-  one could hardly fit in any more!

I have already consigned two lots of fallen flowers to the bin. They turn to mush if they are put on the compost heap.

Very few flowers on our 'Donation' this year. I blame my 'assistant' for over-liberal use of the shears last year

Camellia japonica 'San Dimas', and Camellia 'Nuncio's Carousel'.

Camellia japonica 'Pink Perfection' last evening.  Got this from a friend who brought Camellias in from Louisiana in about 1972.

'Nuncio's Carousel' is a cracker Ralph.

Camellia japonica from cw seed on Daechong Do, Korea, the northernmost stand and holding great promise for areas just north of the Camellia "just barely hardy" zone.  About a dozen plants from Philip MacD.'s collection.
