Camellias in bloom

Last year we planted 3 camellia bushes in the yard, choosing the same varietals my mom had in her yard. With the recent warm weather, we've seen some blooms out of this one called October Affair. These are photos taken every couple of days over the course of about a week. I can't wait for these plants to get as big as the red camellia we have that sprouts hundreds of flowers each year.
