Spring flowers

Spring when there's usually an abundance of flowers.  Here's a few from the garden.  The first two are camellias which were planted in the garden by previous owners so I can't say what varieties they are as there were no plant names attached to them.  But they can produce such perfect looking flowers.

The Dutch Iris look spectacular in spring with an intense blue whilst the brilliant Clivia flowers provide colour in a dry shaded area.  Incidentally Clivia was named after Charlotte Clive so, strictly it should be pronounced Clive-ia rather than with the more common short "i".
