This is the Camellia we just can't get a positive ID on. We know Edward

a
bush to be that type. If there are some Camellia experts out there who
can
have a stab at it, we'd love to get some ideas.

We have a semi double red that is now a tree and have lost the name too.

The Williamsii hybrid "Cherub" look remarkably like yours BTW.
Soft pink semi double.

Very close indeed. I'd need to see some pics of the growth habit,
apparently. Thanks very much, Bob - I'll look into that one more carefully.
