camellia id?
anyone recognize the camellia www.roselandhouse.co.uk/camellia.jpg Its in
full flower now in a friends garden (which is apparently normal the gardens owner tells me) and scented so I think it must be a Sasanqua but I do not grow any of these and did not recognize it. -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |

Narumi-Gata so while there are so many, many Camellias I know this one is scented and flowers now and has that 'blush' sometimes. So I'm going to guess at that one. It was one of my ex fil's favourites and it's his fault I grow it now! ;-) Here's another pic http://www.rhododendrons.com/product/5722/1 -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

Its the only camellia in their garden and they will be delighted to know what it is as they keep getting asked! Glad I could help, Charlie. I hope ours continue to grow and flourish. They're looking wonderful now. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

Its the only camellia in their garden and they will be delighted to know what it is as they keep getting asked! Just to raise a small doubt in your mind, according to Jennifer Trehane in her book on camellias, C. oleifera is very similar to C. narumigata, and the two are often confused by amateur and professional alike, with the one being sold as the other and vice versa. I love those 'disputes'. Once you get to that point, you have to ask yourself 'does it matter'? ;-) -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |
