?????.......... / George Adams

So I bought this plant from what was Roslyn Nursery, probably close to 10 years ago as Ville De Nantes.    It was just a stick in a pot when I got it, and this is the first time it has bloomed for me.  But It doesn`t look like what I know Ville De Nantes to look like. But it has the most Amazing candy apple red flowers.  It is a really great red.  So I am happy with it, no matter what it is

    It is not 'Ville de Nantes' leaves either, but, as you said, very pretty

    Very beautiful deep red. Looks a lot like Camellia japonica Royal Velvet.
