Wow, that is fascinating! I have never heard of this flower
And only two known to exist! Unbelievable, and what a gorgeous flower. Your image is stunning. Best of luck in the contest!

This is a very poignant piece. The camellia is beautiful, and I appreciate learning about a flower that is so rare. Your words are a tribute to its beauty. Thank you.

You've written an excellent 5-7-5poem for the flower contest
It's always good to learn of rare plants and flower,
especially if only two are known to exist. They may be others
in China.
Excellent entry with wonderful presentation and color
Best wishes to you and the camellia.
Robert

What a beautiful flower with a great poem to accompany it, Mystery Author. Great job with the prompt. Is it not possible to grow more of these from cuttings or seed? I enjoyed reading your contest entry. Thanks for sharing and the niotes. Best wishes. Respectfully, Jan

Wow that is rare indeed!! It is sad to think of all the species that have gone extinct or are on the brink of extinction! Hopefully, this flower will find a way to survive as well! Best wishes for the contest!
