I'm on vacation, so only a short written accompaniment today. – Daniel
Similar to the “species tulip” from two days ago, this flower belongs to a “species camellia”, i.e., it is what would be encountered in the wild. In cultivation, however, over 2000 variants or selections of Camellia japonica exist (source: Wikipedia) – an image search gives a hint to the different ornamental forms.
