Camellia japonica 'Silver Anniversary'

This lovely camellia that a friend gave me as a present last July has just flowered and holds very special memories of our silver anniversary 🥂✨✨

Oh wow! Ours produced a single bloom this year...but it wasn't as good as this. Its definitely something to look forward to! Stunning!

Mine as three blooms and four more buds coming. I'm really surprised it's flowered so well in its first year Karen. I've just seen yours it's very pretty I'm sure you will have more blooms soon 😀 @Patiorose

Ah Mo that's a lovely memory 😘😘😘

It is Pearl and made me smile 😘😘😘 @fuschia

Aww that's lovely Mo 😘😘

Aww how lovely Mo 😘

So elegantly beautiful 😊

Japonicas tend to be a bit tricky this far north @mojo Mo. Thanks 💟

Thanks you Jill, Lin, Julie, Vannessa, O llker, and Karen for your lovely comments. You are right Lin I'm sure Hugh will be keeping a watchful eye on the garden and be smiling as well 😀 @jilly @linfoster @nessas @OICANALP @Patiorose
