Camellia of the Month
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR to all our camellia friends around the world!
"Since we all love camellias I hope this one, named after my great-grandmother, Jane Andresen, will bring you some joy," she writes. C.japonica 'Dona Jane Andresen' "was obtained by the first Moreira da Silva, who named it after her in 1896 when she planted huge rows of camellias at what is now the Botanical Garden of Porto."
Send the ICS website a photo of one of your favourite camellias for our "Camellia of the month" display. Tell us a little bit about it -- where it originated and when, and why you like it!
