My new 'Volunteer' camellia japonica - a hybrid camellia that has anemone-style variegated flowers - pink with white edges as well as dark pink-red and white. 'Volunteer' was named to commemorate the International Year of Volunteers in 2001. This hybrid was developed in New Zealand by famed camellia grower, Mark Jury, and is now recognised around the world as one of the best japonica hybrid specimens. Like all camellia japonicas, as distinct from camellia sasaquas, 'Volunteer' prefers part shade and not full sun. So I have placed her (mine is a "her" - lol) in a part of the garden that will receive morning sun but be protected from Sydney's hideous western sun in summer. 'Volunteer' is flowering around Sydney now, being late winter. My 'Volunteer' comes from the amazing 'Plants Plus' garden centre in the Cumberland Forest, West Pennant Hills, in north-western Sydney.

Photographed with my Canon 5D Mk IV and a Canon 100mm f 2.8 L lens - because, for once, I remembered to put the 5D in the car and so I did not have to use the Samsung Galaxy mobile phone!!
A valiant volunteer sunflower in a flower bed, seed dropped from a winter feeder.
Anytime an 'exotic' flower bursts forth on it's own, with no help from human hand, I am delighted! I am amazed at the resoluteness of nature.
All praise to the volunteers to National Trust on this lovely island
Quick visit to this Island

There aren't too many around. I actually sent the volunteer coordinator images of two different men in action. She was very happy.
This is the Mud Lick Volunteer Fire Department building in the unincorporated community of Mud Lick, Kentucky. Its six apparatus bay doors made the building the largest in the community bar none. I did not see many houses around here. However, Mud Lick once had its own U.S. Post Office. This community was featured in an episode of the science-fiction television series X-Files for having a monster in its backwoods. The place looked pretty peaceful to me.
I later drove down Mud Lick Flippin Road, which connects Mud Lick to Flippin, Kentucky.
While out tracking two circling eagles of some sort, I found this tiny spring volunteer!
My first attempt to capture this tiny yellow flower suffered from an austere dynamic range. I asked my tolerant husband to hold the translucent photo umbrella over the wee fleur and felt more satisfied. (Almost-midday photos need an umbrella and a tolerant spouse.) Heavy rain last night and dew this morning.
Thanks for looking!
Today we went to Knole (National Trust). The house is very grand and there are many chairs, but most are throne like upholstered chairs, and they are all lined up against a wall. So I only managed to snap 3 chairs for my National Trust lone chair project and one of those was a chair for the volunteers.
My dad planted flowers here probably 20-25 years ago. I haven't done anything with his former flowerbed since we bought the house 15 years ago, but every year, we get a few volunteers.

I have not been able to volunteer at my local SPCA due to COVID 19. I really miss the cats and dogs.

This is the latest of the volunteer pansies to blossom in my garden. I don't recall ever seeing one with this color combination before. That is the wonder of planting pansies and surrounding them with large bark or wood chips. Pansy seeds cross pollinate easily (resulting in a delightful color array) and require darkness for germination.

I sure hope these little "volunteer" tomatoes decide to be charitable
and come up in my garden again this year! They were very much
on my mind yesterday when I was shoppin' the grocery store for
some 1/2 decent ones for my salad! sigh

April 25 is ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand. ANZAC stands for "Australian and New Zealand Army Corps". I will say more about this tomorrow.
Here are two young modern day volunteers who are part of the Tasmanian Lighthorse Regiment Historical Troop. They were making an appearance at Sheffield during the recent Steamfest.
