Young, Red, and Fabulous

Have you ever seen a more egotistical flower? It hasn't even bloomed yet, and there it is showing itself all off like it's the Queen of the Festival.

Quietly, and no where near it, I might admit that it's a nice looking thing. I mean, camellias rarely get their time in the limelight, but it's got enough ego thank you very much.
