A "Hiryu" Camellia Hiemalis Bloom - a photo on Flickriver

            The last days on an Indian summer are behind us now were I live as the days draw in sooner and there is a chill in the air.  The roses have thrown their last blooms for the season, yet just as they stop, my camellia sasanquas start, so I have new blooms to take pleasure in photographing and sharing with you!

As well as a camellia hedge in my rear garden, I also have a shorter hedge in my front garden that grows underneath the bay windows.  There are several specimens there including a a hybrid between the warm-climate scented sasanqua and cooler-climate unscented japonica camellia.  It is called "Hiryu" and as a hybrid it is neither sasanqua nor japonica, but a hiemalis.

With elegant deep rosy red blended with darker red at the edges, the "Hiryu" hiemalis as a small evergreen shrub that grows to around two metres in height with beautiful displays of flowers in autumn and early winter.  It is ideal as a specimen tree on its own or in groups with other Camellias.   It can be used as a hedge or screen and espalier.
