That little splash of pink often occurs on C. Narumi-Gata so while there are
so many, many Camellias I know this one is scented and flowers now and has
that 'blush' sometimes. So I'm going to guess at that one. It was one of my
ex fil's favourites and it's his fault I grow it now! ;-)

You are I think spot on, it looks exactly like that. Its the only
camellia in their garden and they will be delighted to know what it is as
they keep getting asked!
