We purchased a home three years ago that was built in the early 1940's. I am now the owner of a camellia garden with about 80 trees and shrubs. There are very few duplicates and I am now trying to identify them all. The gentleman that created the garden must have had varied interests. I have truly fallen in love with these flowers.
