| I have seen what appears to be a camellia that is vibrant pastel pink along one of my neighbors fences. It blooms in Mid May. I have not found it in the Nurseries. What could be the name of this Camellia? It looks somewhat like a Jean May or April Remembered. Thank You, Patti Meadows |
| There are several possibilities: Camellia japonica varieties: ?Berenice Boddy?- Midseason; medium; light pink. ?Daikagura?- Early-late; large; rose-red. ?Debutante?- Early-midseason; medium-large, pink. ?Desire? - Midseason; medium large; pale pink. ?Kumasaka?- Midseason-late; medium-large; pink. ?Lady Clare?- Midseason-late; large; dark pink; above-average cold hardiness. ?Magnoliaeflora?- Midseason; medium; pale-pink. ?Mathotiana?- Midseason-late; very large; crimson. ?Guilio Nuccio?- Midseason; very large; rose. ?Pink Perfection?- Early; large; pink. ?Rev. John G. Drayton?- Late; semi-double; carmine-rose. Camellia sasanqua varieties: 'Egao?- rose pink 'Jean May?- large; pink; excellent variety, but very susceptible to leaf gall disease. ?Kanjiro?- large; semi-double; pink. ?Pink Snow?- light pink; semi-double; large; outstanding. You can see these varieties on the Monrovia website. Perhaps one of these is the plant you're looking for. Hope so! |
