I am glad I made it home in time to see the Professor Sargent Camellia japonica in full bloom.
These flowers have an unusual bouquet quality due to the two-tiered arrangement of petals.
The difference in petal length is most pronounced as the blooms first open.

Such Magnificent blooms…. A garden near us has one in a similar red, their bush is half size of their house height.
Every year, we admire it from our window view.
No wonder this one is called Professor Sargent. It’s definitely a cut above the rest. šā„ļø
