White with shades of brown

Camellia flowers turning.  Nikon D7000

9th April 2015

The flowers on the Camellia have been super profuse this year, but the first flush are starting to fade and turn brown.  

When the flowers first bloom, they are a stunning white and look great, but the partially faded ones lose their appeal rapidly.

This one seems to be fading gracefully; the recent lack of rain has probably helped as they have not been too damaged by showers.  

There are plenty more buds forming too :)
