Yours Truly Camellia. This cultivar is a late winter bloomer, which is good insurance against hard freezes while flowers are opening. I consider this to be a great asset with Camellias. It is a semi-double flowers of shell-pink with deeper pink random streaks with petals edged in white. As with all Camellias, don't plant too deeply. They like to be shallow so that the roots can "breathe". I always like to have the root ball slightly above the surrounding grade, then mulch with bark or pine straw. Morning sun and afternoon shade or filtered sun is the most ideal. Once Camellias are established, they can be some of the most drought resistant plants in the landscape.
