This plant flowers here from around Halloween through December.
Camellias are common in warm temperate climates and bloom generally while it is cool outside.
Newer hybrids have allowed folks in cold climates to grow this shrub with some success outdoors. This tends to start blooming approx. 2 weeks later than the above plant. It was transplanted that spring. They don't take much of a liking to being transplanted after 2-3 years in their location.
