A small white tea bush flower looks like an underdeveloped camellia. Its 5 white petals are spread out facing down, and its central cluster of bright yellow anthers take the show. The tea leaves are mid green, oval and serrated. I don't know if we could grow a lot of tea around here, but this one is thriving. Because of this week's rain, there are raindrops pearling on top of the flower.

There is a real tea bush (Camellia sinensis) growing in the P-Patch! I did a double take when I saw it.
