Camellia

Camellias are flowering shrubs and trees native to eastern and southern Asia. The camellia depicted in this painting has a large, showy flower in white and red. Camellias are prized for their beautiful blooms that appear in late winter and early spring. Though often associated with Japan, camellias grow wild in China and were first cultivated there before being introduced to Japan and the West.
