Seeing Red

One of my favourite views at this time of year can be seen from my back door. A glance across next door's garden to the one beyond and the beginnings of what will become a blaze of red is just starting to show:

If I remember correctly this is a Peony bush,  tall enough for me to admire over the six foot fencing.
My thanks to Rob for identifying the flower as a Camellia.

  2. It looks very much like a camellia to me John. It looks very nice whatever it is.

    1. Rob: Thanks for the identification. I was told a few years ago what it is but the memory cells are getting more than a bit hazy at times.

  3. My neighbour has a red camellia just over the garden fence and we have a white one. Both are flowering really well this year and look lovely :)
