If I hadn't been beset with other gardening problems I'd have
mentioned this sooner.
Amongst a few other camelias which all behaved themselves, one with
red-ish blooms had relatively few which opened fully.
Is there a straightforward diagnosis?

Early morning frosts, by any chance, east facing, something of that sort?

Or just rain and flowers getting waterlogged, so the petals rot at the
base and never fully open?
