I bought this camelia 2 years ago, because it was named 'Bob Hope'. I didn't know what colour flower it had as it was on the specials table at a local nursary - you know the one where it is the plant's last chance at life being almost dead in a too small pot. But I think you will agree, I have been well rewarded - this is the plant's first flowering. Trust 'Bob Hope' to make me smile.
