Magnoliaeflora Camellia
Camellia japonica ‘Magnoliaeflora’
Magnoliaeflora Camellia is a unique and elegant variety named for its distinct flower form, which resembles a magnolia or water lily. The blooms are semi-double, with broad, rounded, overlapping petals of soft pink, often edged or suffused with a deeper pink, surrounding a central cluster of golden stamens. Blooming in mid to late winter, it offers a graceful, refined alternative to the more common double forms.
