I’ve been investigating the identity of some of the pink camellias blooming in our garden now. I collected some for the table.
I began by looking at this popular encyclopaedia which was on my bookshelf. However, I had greater success with the website http://www.camelliasaustralia.com.au – so here goes…
A beautiful mid pink rose-like flowers – Ellie’s Girl.
Pale pink large double flowers- Mrs DW Descanso. These have been flowering since June!
Rosy salmon blooms – Harriet Beecher Sheather.
Of course, it’s a challenge identifying a bloom from a page or a website. Would love to attend a camellia conference – one day!
Enjoy your season. Next week: the white edit 😊💐🌺🌷

Love this post. I am from the Northern part of the states and moved to the South where camellias grows. They are so beautiful and bloom in the winter here. I can’t understand why everyone doesn’t have a yard full of them.

I agree. Some camellia trees are so robust and tall – flowering in icy cold conditions here and some flower for months. Thanks for your lovely comments.

Wow so pretty… never knew there were so many different kinds of the same variety of flower….

Yes, and it’s proving quite challenging to name as often there are multiple names for each one.
