Friends of ours gave us this camellia to grow in our garden, they had it growing in a pot
of which it had outgrown. It took a few years to settle into our soil and this year is
rewarding us with several of these pretty blooms. I don't know the name of this cam, & yes
we did have a slight sprinkling of rain - perhaps 2 mls.
