with its stamens.

this reticulata hybrid from 1979. |

Pure white formal double blooms make this 1966
variety a beauty to behold.

Softest pink blooms with deeper rosy blushing around the edges

This lovely non-reticulata hybrid was developed
in New Zealand in 1975.

Camellia japonica
‘Rosea Superba’

Superb, indeed. The history of this antique variety (1843)
is mysterious and murky. We do know she came from England originally.

This 1950 variety originated in nearby Gulfport,
MS and is one of the original specimens planted in the Wild
Garden. |
