It's sounds exactly like my Camellia, which I got at the Home Depot in Loganville and it's called "Mrs. Thomas Cobb". I tried 'google-ing' that name and all I found was a "Mrs. Charles Cobb", no "Mrs. Thomas Cobb", but my blooms have many more petals than the Charles variety.
I wish I kept the tag on it, but I swear that's the name of it (since I picture some Southern woman sipping lemonade on her porch and I would laugh about the name).
I would call that HD since they talked me into getting that camellia several years ago.

Oh, and my camellia has always bloomed about this time of year.

My Camellia japonica 'Governor Mouton' are blooming now and that is normal for them. Red and white splashed flowers.

my camillias have been flowering since the middle of December and still have lots of buds on them, plus new shoots. They have looked so good for the past couple of months as they are the only color i have in the garden at the moment, and they are a deep pink color. Just beautiful!

Don't forget there is a camellia forum on GW. I am no camellia person, but I have heard that there are primarily two distinct kinds: camellia japonica (blooming now) and camellia sasanqua (which bloom in fall and early winter), plus some others like camellia sinensis and camellia oleifera.

Here is a link that might be useful: Camellia Forum

I have the beautiful with double Nuccio's Gem, the pink and white swirled (huge flowers) Frankie Wynn just declining, and a mystery double red. The red is really cool, as the inner petals are shorter and more dense like a pom pom.
There is also a small flowered, single pink with yellow stamens blooming. Again, unsure of it's name.
All of these were given to me by Girlsaylor who used to be on this forum but moved to WA state. This is their regular bloom time. I am thinking they may rely more on light hours than on temps to regulate bloom time?
I have photos of the first three if you are interested in seeing them, please just email.

Well, I have all of one bloom on 3 bushes! Could I have it in too much shade? How much sun do they need?

Pins, decideous shade is best. They can take more winter sun, without leaves burning, but I had major scorch when in full summer sun.

I love camellias. I have a beautiful tree form camellia that is blooming now. It has fragrant blush white blooms that are 2-3" across. I think it is a cross between a japonica and a fragrant species called lutchuensis. It is a really beautiful plant. I am astounded by the sheer number of camellia species we DON'T grow. There are many that are hardy here, and we only grow a handful.

I have a white camellia that has been blooming since Dec. But I have another one called Yuletide that has not bloomed at all. It's only about 3 years old but doesn't bloom and was wondering if anyone knew why? It's in partial sun under tall pines as are others who do bloom.
