Can`t believe that it is the middle of May and I still have camellia flowers blooming .
Dixie Knight has a really nice deep red color with bright white variegation.

Carter`s Sunburst / by George Adams


Carter`s Sunburst is a beautiful flower............Interestingly , this is one of the few camellias in my yard that has some full sized flowers this year. But it also has some that were reduced by the cold of the past winter. So it has some big and also some little flowers on it this year

Nuccio`s Pearl / by George Adams



Last year it didn`t really bloom............but this year it has lots of flowers. But they are small
It is in a location that gets early morning winter sun. So the foliage is damaged, but not terribly

Mathotiana / by George Adams



Finally.......I think the camellias are going to bloom. Mathotiana is always one of the first. It is late. but as you can see in the photo, it is going to be covered with flowers.
