Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Camellia 'Pink Perfection', 2 by petraelena

Two years ago I came across a camellia at a big box DIY store. The flowers stopped me in my tracks - clear pink, formal double, and enormous - over 6 inches in diameter. The plant was labeled \'Glen 40\', as was another one with smaller red blooms. Clearly it was mislabeled, but what was it?

Like any dedicated camellia collector, I was unable to resist buying it, although I have yet to identify it. My first pick has been \'Pink Perfection\', despite the blooms being larger than usually described for that cultivar. It didn\'t bloom last year, so it not clear whether it will continue to produce such large flowers. I bought a named \'Pink Perfection\' this past year so I can compare. I\'m curious what others think
