Flower Friday - Camellia

This is really about the camellia - not the bee. I couldn't resist including the bumble bee though

I have been trying to photograph this camellia for ages to have a record but the pink always flares out, and it is very hard to avoid the browned blooms that are nearly finished.  It is  extremely prolific - you can hardly get a finger between the blooms and makes a wonderful display.

In the extras is a beeless bloom and a shot of the camellia showing how it is covered in flowers.
