What is this plant/bush called please?
I planted it as a twig size maybe 15 years ago and it seems to flower like this in March every 2 years. In the year in between it just gets a few red flowers on but nothing like this. I don’t dead-head it when the flowers fall, which will be in a couple/few weeks I think.
It might not be much but I think it’s spectacular when it does this. Many thanks.

It's a camellia, but I couldn't say which variety it is. I've got some where I live and they require an acid soil. The flowers are red, pink or white in early spring, and I've been collecting masses of spent blooms which winds have blown on to the ground. Camellia x williamsii ' St Ewe '( from a nursery website ) is the closest one in flower to yours I could find.

Make sure you water it well in August September to get maximum flowers for the next next year - Camelia Japonica originating from JapanThank you

Thanks Joey
I was trying to find an old post about the strongest weedkillers and stumbled on a pic I recognised recent.
In other news that may appeal to your British sensibilities, @Cake , and although your variety is not used for it...this is the same family of plants that tea (ie. Camellia sinensis) is derived from.

In my defence, I used to drink it (over 30 years ago) but I don't like it unless it's really strong and then there's the scum on the top if it cools too much. I've made ginger tea a good few times in the past couple of years, if that counts, so I would be grateful if my punishment could be reduced to lashes, or something, on appeal?
