Flower of the Day - Pink Sasanqua

Camellia sasanqua  - often known simply as sasanquas. 
I love sasanquas because they begin flowering during early Autumn,
 just when the Summer flowers are finishing.
I think this variety is "Pink Plantation"

Wondrously, this variety of rose changes colour as it opens!
