What's blooming in October? Yuletide Camellia

Yuletide Camellia, Camellia sasanqua 'Yuletide'

This flower is supposed to bloom at Christmas.  It's early!  Hopefully it will continue to bloom through winter like it's supposed to.  It likes filtered sun, which it gets in the corner of our front yard, under the neighbor's tree.  I just love the bright red flowers, the puff of bright yellow centers, and the dark green glossy leaves.
