I'm not familiar with this plant, someone out there may know what it is. But large beautiful blooms, here in the south. I love the color & shape, almost has a rose like appearance.
Looks like a camellia and a very perfect one too. Nicely photographed, but since I am a perfectionist with regard to flower shots, I would suggest either removing the damaged leaf on the left or cloning it into health. lol The way it is now, it draws the eye away from the beautiful flower to some degree. Well taken image in partial shade and sun.
Thanks Sam, actually if it were my bush I would have pruned the leaf, but I was at a golf course leaving #18 when I saw this beautiful bush so I was kind of trespassing when I got this shot. :) Rae
