Hi everyone!
My wife and I just moved into an older home in mid Georgia and have three large Camellias and being new to gardening were hoping some of you could help us identify what kinds we have. Thank you in advance for your help!!

Hello Camelliєfilos.
This one is a time of Camellias.

It is very easy to have a mistake in the identification. It is difficult from photos of flowers, only.
Leaves, size, colour of the trunk, growth, smell, epoch of flowering and other information. But I try to help.

The first photo I believe that it is Camellia sasanqua СROSEAТ .

The second photo can be ' Camellia sasanqua 'GINGETSU' '.

The third photo can be ' Camellia oleifera ' or ' Camellia yubsianensis '.

Regards.

The flowers of #1 and #2 are sasanqua. It could be a named cultivars as okintos mentioned. Or they are possible ordinary sasanqua seedlings. If one grows 100 sasanqua seeds, most of them look like the #1 and #2 flower. They look ok but so typical and so ordinary.

#3 flower seems to be in Section Paracamellia Sealy. But it is not C yuhsinensis. I have three kinds of C yuhsinensis cultivars: Regular, Fragrant and High Yield( oil production)cultivars. Their leaves are much coarse and wider.
