I believe we have a Camellia Society in Lakeland, FL. I will check it out the next time they have a show and your source as well.

, other nurseries carry them too, but this is where I buy mine, and I highly recommend them. You cannot order from their website, so you will need to do it the old fashioned way, from a black and white paper catalog. If there is a Camellia Society show in your area, attend it and bring a note book and a digital camera, that's how I chose my list.

While visiting CA on business two February's ago, I attended a regional camellia show at Descanso gardens, and took note of my favorites. Later, I visited Nuccio's, ( a great location and nice people), and chose my plants. They packaged them and shipped them home. Later, I ordered the rest from their catalog. Use Google to look up the names, and you should do fine.

I bought a camellia recently, which is putting out new shoots and growing well in a container. I am worried whether it can withstand our summer (38C) in April and May. Nobody I know grows camellias here.

The camellias are beautiful. That Margaret Davis is very pretty but the whites steal my heart. Silver Tower has a nice form, but fragrance would top even form. Thanks for sharing all these beauties.
