Sasanqua camellias (Camellia sasanqua) are native to Japan and can be found across Japan. The plant produces white, pink, and red flowers from October to December, earlier than Japanese camellia (Camellia japonica), which is one of the differences between the two camellias.
These two camellias resemble each other and experts provide several ways to distinguish them. One is the size of trees and another the timing of flowering, but the most interesting difference is how they fall or die. Sasanqua flowers die with petals falling off one by one while when Japanese camellia flowers die, the flower heads fall off in their entirety and this way of dying was associated with beheaded human heads
in the Edo (
samurai) period. Naturally, despite its beauty, the Japanese camellia was unpopular among
samurai. If you're interested in such "beheaded" camellias, read

源平咲きの山茶花です。日本原産で全国で見られます。椿とよく間違われますが、山茶花の方が早く咲き始め、かつ、咲き終わりも全く違います。花全体がぽとっと落ちる椿（落ち椿）とは異なり、山茶花は花びらが一枚一枚散っていきます。ちなみに椿のこのような（ぽとっと落ちる）終わり方は落ちた首を連想させたようで、江戸時代は武士に嫌われていたようです。落ち椿にご興味ある方は
