Illustrations of the New Camellia Hybrids that Bloom Year-Round

Illustrations of the New Camellia Hybrids that Bloom Year-Round,This is the first well-illustrated monograph that introduces new camellia varieties with year-round blooming. This book shows 323 new camellia varieties in total, of them, 217 C. azalea's hybrids with the year0round blooming trait, 55 C. amplexicaulis' hybrids with long blooming period, 20 ordinary camellia hybrids and 31 new varieties selected from camellia chance seedlings are introduced. These new varieties are the achievement obtained by teh camellia breeding team at the Palm Landscape Architecture Col, Ltd., after industrious work for 10 years. Our aim is not only to make the worldwide gardeners, nurserymen, camellia enthusiasts understand more characteristics of the year-round blooming camellias, which promotes the development and cooperation of the camellias, but also hope it could be used as a reference book on camellia breeding worldwide.
