Its Christmas, Rose


This image is the result of a photo session that happened a week or two before Christmas. On the face of it, the results were very poor, which is why its taken so long for me to salvage this image with a significant amount of post-processing.

The flower in question is a camellia bloom, also known as a Christmas rose, because it flowers around mid-winter, or a China rose, because the plant originates in the Orient.

This particular specimen is one of the first plants that we bought for the garden, and we nearly killed it by planting it in a south facing bed, before realising our error, digging it up and putting it in a pot on the west side of the house.
