Last or first. Camellia japonica

Normaly the Camellia flowering time is early spring. This one ( in our garden ) decided to do it now. Weather conditions are that way .
Is it a first flower or a last one ?

Yes the weather has changed so much lately and I know Europe had a most wonderful fall to maybe this why this flower is blooming late this year.
