Q.I Have Just Found A Flower On My Camelia Bush That Is Different From All The Rest. As It Is Rather Pretty, I Would Like To Know If

Zone Melbourne | Anonymous added on March 28, 2024 | Answered

there is a way of reproducing it? Attached are two photos: 1st showing the normal flower [with the yellow center & the 2nd showing the different flower with a full pink center. We have had this Camelia bush for over 20 years and never noticed this full pink center before. I really love it and wondered if I can reproduce it somehow. Many thanks Chris

It may be a sport of the plant. You can try to replicate it by taking a cutting off the stem after the flower fades. Here is more:
