The flower of a camellia bush. This flower is red and not multiplied, leaving the pollen-covered center exposed.
The camellia is related to the bush from which tea leaves are taken, but has been bred for ornamental flowering.
The Camellia plant, Camelia S., is related to the plant used to make tea.
The light pink, multiplied flower of this particular camellia is beautiful and its complex symmetry is amazing.
