Her name is Lauren Tudor, a beautiful Camellia growing in my back yard.  I had to hold her up as her bloom is huge, weighted down with her beauty.  This is a new tree I planted 3 or 4 years ago, a gift from Diane Roorda.  I think this is it’s first bloom.  

The Camellias in my gardens are mostly old varieties, this a new variety.   I like knowing the names of trees and plants, makes the garden more personal I think.

So from my garden to yours, Happy New Year !
