I picked up a large seed head whilst in a park in the south of France at the begining of October this year, after looking around I found a plaque with some latin name which I can't remember but it also said camelia,

United Kingdom

the seed head is about as large as a large fir cone and about the same shape,and very woody, the seeds are bright pillar box red, I have already managed to raise one seedling and hope for more, and would like to know which Camelia it is.
could anyone identify this camelia for me from the description.

I suspect that the plant that produced the seeds was a named variety in which case the seeds will not come true. So you may end up with a winner or a dud. Do you feel lucky?
