Sunbathing Beauties

This beautiful Camellia Sasanqua is called “Kanjiro”. I picked these delightful cerise blooms the other day and put them in a tall Art Deco glass vase on my kitchen bench. I captured them bathing in the dappled morning sunlight.

 

Vigorous, Camellia sasanqua 'Kanjiro' is a magnificent Japanese beauty with masses of large, single to semi-double, rich cerise blossoms. They are delicately shaded paler at the center and the base of the petals which gives the appearance of a central stripe. The blooms occur over quite a long period between March and June in the Southern Hemisphere which makes them very popular. They are often used for hedges or to cover walls.
