Cold Camellia(?)

The picture below shows 'Kan-Tsubaki'. It originates in Japan, and it has no English name as far as I know. The Japanese name means cold camellia. The botanical name is Camellia hiemalis.







The difference between Kan-Tsubaki and Sazanka (Sasanqua) is the height: Sazanka grows more than 1m height, while Kan-Tsubaki grows horizontally.
