Artistic macro photo of a beautiful camellia, the floral belle of the south.
From https://www.southernliving.com/garden/camellias:
The South is the heart of camellia country. Indeed, common camellia (Camellia japonica) is even Alabama's state flower. Although it seems these plants, which are so well suited to our area, must have been born here, they actually hail from eastern and southern Asia. These lovely evergreen shrubs and trees are members of the tea family, Theaceae, and bring blooms to our gardens during the cold months. More than 3,000 named kinds of camellias exist in a remarkable range of colors, forms, and sizes. They are not browsed by deer, another plus point for life outdoors in the South. This beautiful, flowering shrub is a Southern favorite because it loves the Southern climate and has a long blooming season.
