    Most likely *Camellia japonica*, cultivar unknown.

    A very healthy Camellia. Those fat buds are all going to explode into bloom. Camellias need little in the way of care. They’re spring bloomers, so any pruning done later in summer will take out next year’s blooms.

    Thank you for this beautiful shrub, which will not grow in the cold winters of my zone 5 garden.

    Lucky you, in Canada we can only see them inside a greenhouse, and don’t usually see them bloom, this is Camellia , an evergreen shrub from east Asia but now you see them in many places in the world, in Chinese it’s called ” tea flowers” because it is used to plant for making tea , it has a long history in tea culture in China, but now people plant them for appreciate it’s flowers and also gardening exhibition
