My neighbour and dear friend turned 68 today.
I baked a spice cake last night so I took her a square for her birthday.
I came home with the following beauty:

| Camellia Japonica. |
Isn't it perfect?
In amongst the natives, my friend's garden is laden with camellias of all colours.
This one is her favourite.
Such a beautiful specimen is enough to tempt me to include camellias in my native garden.
Mmmmm....
Sometimes my way of getting around exotics in my native garden is to plant them in containers.
I'm not sure how camellias feel about being contained. Guess I've got some research to do.
