First I was surprised to find these camellia like flowers on the street I walk down every morning and then a common straight swift landing on one of the flowers. These flowers are Japanese stewartia (Stewartia pseudocamellia). As part of its scientific name "pseudocamellia" suggests, the Japanese stewartia is related to camellias and therefore called natsu tsubaki in Japan, which means summer camellia. The camellia is evergreen while the Japanese stewartia is deciduous.

最初、いつも歩く道に椿みたいな花を見つけてびっくり。その後、イチモンジセセリ（一文字挵）がその一輪に舞い降りて二度😲。夏椿（ナツツバキ）です。夏椿はツバキの仲間ではありますが、椿は常緑樹、夏椿は落葉樹です。
