[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Camellia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae, native to eastern and southern Asia from the Himalaya east to Japan and Indonesia. There are 100–250 existent species, with some controversy over the exact number. The genus was named by Linnaeus after Jesuit botanist Georg Joseph Kamel.

This camellia was in my back garden. We had just finished watering all then newly planted flowers and I noticed the heavy drops on the petals of the flower, so (much to fiona's dismay) off i went to get my camera, again!!

Hope you like it.

Nice shot of this beautiful flower. I would try to increase aperture to f/14 to capture more of the drops or change the composition a bit to include just one or two.
