A Plantation Pink Camellia Bud

The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 6th of May is “flower buds”. Luckily for me, the day I looked at the new theme, it was a lovely, sunny day. This meant that I was able to walk out into my rear garden over to the “Plantation Pink” Camelia Sasanqua in my camellia hedge which is having its best show of flowers thus far. The hedge is covered in many beautifully formed pink flowers and dainty buds. I just had to select the one I liked best. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.

 

Vigorous and fast growing, Camellia Sasanqua “Plantation Pink” is an upright evergreen shrub with masses of large sweetly scented single to semi-double, soft pink flowers and a wonderful centre of golden yellow stamens. 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.
