ghost_shit@SallyABL Lovely! That bloom looks quite like the photo on the label of the Camellia 'Asakura' I bought last year.
@ghost_shit thanks. ☺️ Its a Camelia Sasanqua 'Early Pearly'.
Alistair K@SallyABL @ghost_shit I was about to ask what strain it was! That flower structure's so nice.
My parents have a sasanqua with small, open white flowers, a bit frillier than this one. I took a piece to a local nursery to ask after the variety and they alas could not tell.
One of the neighbours has Cinnamon Cindy, also small white flowers but pointier buds than this one and a deeper pink blush before they open.
@libroraptor @ghost_shit yes! I saw frilly ones. Nice. I liked this, more formal, flower. My first attempt to grow them.
I also planted a couple of Camelia Sasanqua 'Paradise Pearl' which start as a pink blush ending in white, I think. There are a couple of pink buds just emerging so, all to be revealed. Rest assured there will be pics.
Edit - I LOVE the Cinnamon Cindy name! Might look for it.
