Camellia identification help w/ pic

16 years ago

Does anyone know which camellias these are. I think they are two different types grafted on to one tree. They are the larger flowers in the bowl below. The small pink flowers are cherry blossoms, and the camellias needed to be identified are the larger flowers. Three are dark red with a small white inside, and one of the flowers is pink with white rimming each petal. Also this camellia grows outside year round in a zone 7 climate and blooms starting early April. Any help is greatly appreciated, pic should appear below.

I am sorry to say that the red one leaves me totally at sea. The pale pink bicolor, however, looks to be Hermes.

Thanks for your help. If anyone needs a pic of the bush to help ID it, I will be happy to post one.

The pink camellia looks like Jean Clere to me. If so, this camellia japonica is a sport of Aspasia MacArthur. This lovely white bloom with a few deep pink spots has many sports including Jean Clere, Margaret Davis, and many others. I have Margaret Davis. It has white blooms with a red edge. However it also has blooms that are like three other sports as well as the parent plant, Aspasia MacArthur. If your area has a camellia show, you may want to take in a bloom for identification or to see if there are blooms like this at the show.
