'Volunteer' camellia japonica - a photo on Flickriver

'Volunteer' camellia japonica

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!!
