Camellia Colours
One of my camellias is just coming into flower. It regularly produces a profusion of beautiful pink flowers. However, I have just noticed that it has now produced, in addition to the usual pink flowers, a single perfectly white flower. Can anyone suggest the reason for this ? |

Camellias do it from time to time. New varieties can be developed this way, although hybridising is more productive. -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |
