I use camellias pretty extensively in my 9a garden in FL. They make nice companion plants and really deepen the color palate with their shade of green. The flowers are just amazing too.

C. sasanqua blooms earlier. The more well-known camellia, C. japonica, may be the double red that you've got.

Oh yeah japonicas rock.

But sasanquas are often fragrant, too.

At the Mobile Botanical Garden's fall plant sale this past weekend, I picked up a 'Leslie Ann' - a gorgeous variety that won the Ralph Peer Sasanqua Award in 1961 and has been a favorite of camellia enthusiasts ever since. (Not my photo; mine has some growing to do.)

LeslieAnn.jpg.6ab49623de1efb9f3e6f43f7eeb57f38.jpg

I've seen it described as a bicolor. I'm not sure if the word "picotee" applies with such soft coloration on the edges of the petals. The MBG has a stunning mature specimen.

No camellias to complement the palms in my garden, but I have a few other bloomers to share, if that's fair...

For scent as well as beauty, the intoxicating fragrance of Gardenia tubifera is hard to beat. The flowers open white and age to a golden yellow. This is really tree-size and periodically has to be pruned back radically to keep the flowering within sniffing distance. Shown here with Dypsis prestoniana nearby; also close to (but out of frame) some very young Euterpe 'orange crownshaft' and D. onilahensis, weeping form, a favorite plant.

IMG_6856.thumb.JPG.9954b5e7b7f443e60c6076e50f7fecc2.JPG

This orchid is a reliable bloomer. While it is mounted on the trunk of Areca vestiaria 'maroon leaf' that is Marojejya darianii in the background.

I have gotten hooked on Vireya of late, the tropical rhododendron. Shown below is the hybrid 'Painted Lady' with Pelagodoxa henryana in the background.
