I was intrigued by this sight as camellias normally bloom in our winter. This camellia tree was easily three metres tall, so it would be more than twenty years old, for sure. It had a few blooms on it, with lots of heavy buds set among those beautiful green leaves with their high sheen. The tree was set far back, with a huge, hardy golden diosma in front of it. I made sure to take two photographs from the same spot, one with the freshest camellia bloom in sharp focus; and the second with the camellia in soft focus and the diosma in sharp focus. Nice to have two different perspectives of the same scene - even if I can't explain why a camellia would be blooming several weeks early.
