Camellia Donation


My favourite Camellia has started to flower.  She's called Donation and I got given one many years ago when my son was born.  I have planted one every time I have moved since then and have 2 big plants here.



She is a great looking shrub all year round with dark glossy green leaves and bright pure pink flowers.  She starts flowering in June (winter for us) and keeps going until mid spring.  



A constant display of these beautiful flowers.  Best of all she looks after herself, no pruning, no bugs - my sort of plant.

  3. A very pretty camellia indeed. They are one of my favourite trees. Captured with the raindrops is even more special.

  10. Lovely clear pink color. It's great that it blooms so long for you. I have Yuletide that is supposed to bloom in the winter here, but I'm still waiting after 10 years.
