A little surprise when it flowered. I don't remember buying it or planting it, though my records assure me that I did both.
One of those things that arrived during camellianaesthesia.

I can add to the camellianaesthesia by saying that as I am writing this (January 2017) I can't recall where it is planted in the garden.
It will be in one of the rows of Camellia planted as shelter belts, but I will only find it by going along the row plant by plant
looking for the labels.
Originated in Florence and known since the 1850's. I should pay it more attention.
