A Plantation Pink Camellia Sasanqua Bloom

            This beautiful Camellia Sasanqua is called “Plantation Pink”, and after a couple of initial tentative buds, it has now burst forth with a profusion of blooms to brighten my camellia hedge in my rear garden this autumn.  

I captured these the other day when there was a burst of bright sunshine after a shower of rain.  All the raindrops glistening on the sun kissed blooms were too good an opportunity to miss! 

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.
