Camellia Japonica, known as common camellia, and Japanese camellia, is one of the best known species of the genus Camellia. Sometimes called the rose of winter, it belongs to the family Theaceae. It was reported that there are more than 2,000 cultivars developed from Camellia Japonica, with many colours and forms of flowers.
Camellia japonica is valued for its flowers, which can be single, semi-double or double flowered. The shade of the flowers can vary from red to pink to pure white; they sometimes have multi-coloured stripes or specks.
The leaves are dark green on the top side, paler on the underside. They are said to be rich in anti-inflammatory chemicals such as lupeol and squalene.
The following were on my walk route. I don't know if they are a different cultivar of Camellia Japonica. The flowers bear a resemblance but the leaves look a bit different.
