Species
There are many Camellia species in the wild in Asia and they typically have large numbers of relatively small
single white flowers with a special charm all of their own. They are perhaps best compared with the wild dog rose with its
5 petals and golden stamens.
Their twigs are thin and bendy, so the plants are much less stiff, and their leaves are correspondingly more delicate.
