About this Camellia cultivar
Camellia japonica 'Flamingo' is a japonica cultivar originating in the USA as a seedling from Camellia Nurseries, Tallahassee, Florida. It bears medium-sized, pale pink semi-double flowers with petaloids sometimes mixed with the stamens, giving the bloom a soft, open, elegant appearance. The stamens show golden anthers with white filaments, adding contrast at the flower center. Based on the documented flowering in early February and typical Camellia japonica performance, it is likely a mid-season blooming cultivar. Growth habit is not specifically documented, but it is reasonably inferred to be bushy, as is common for many japonica cultivars.
