Hello Stewart they are Camelias ,not sure which ones though.

They are beautiful.

I agree they're both Camellias - lovely aren't they? Burncoose nurseries sell 150 varieties - maybe you can identify which ones you have here -

The catalogue is on 5 pages, the link is to page 1.

Thank you Scotkat and Beattie appreciate it. Stewart

Lovely camelias.....hav'nt seen the white/yellow one before reminds me of a fried egg!!!

I bought one called Jury's yellow a couple of years ago, but it turned its toes up PDQ - had a sort of blight I think. Someone told me they're a more susceptible variety. Don't think this is one though - JY is more double.

thank you all

Your welcome Stewart.:)

It always delights me with blooms.
