Hi, thanks for the replies, much appraciated info.
I think it may indeed be a Camellia sasanqua, perhaps 'Cotton Candy' or
'Jean May'
Would be nice to hear if anyone on here has one of these Camellia's and
perhaps has some pictures to compare...
Thanks again


C. sasanqua 'Jean May' is almost a single flower, as are many sasanquas.
Your photo shows a semi-double.

I have to leave the house very shortly. When I return this afternoon, I
will check my camellia book.
