As promised the deep pinks and reds. The reds have a bit of difficultly reproducing on film so they might still look a bit pink. These are from last Sunday at Sara P Duke Gardens.

Camellia sasanqua 'Anne McCulloch Hill'
This beauty of a camellia was hidden away at Duke Gardens I had to walk off the path to see it good. This plant was 15 ft tall and the flowers every one looked different than the next. The flower below was a freshly opened one. This camellia is a Camellia Forest introduction they are a local Camellia specialized nursery that has 180 different camellias to choose from.
Camellia sasanqua 'Kanjiro'
