Camellias are such pretty, showy flowers, akin to roses sometimes, with a wonderful depth of colour. Unlike roses, they come into bloom at quite an inhospitable time of year: early spring when hard frosts are still very likely. Once they get frosted, the petals turn brown and shrivelled but they often continue to hang on for weeks. I find there's a certain kind of beauty in this hybrid effect.
