Camellia
Many years ago my aunt was given a handful of
camellia seeds by J.C.Williams of Caerhays (the
originator of the williamsii camellia strain) He
told her to sow them, wait for them to flower
and to chose the best to name after herself.
She did this and Camellia x williamsii 'Moira
Reid' is the result. In the fifty or so years since
then many other camellia seedlings have been
discovered, some have been kept and named
after family members or given away to friends
to do the same. A very few are for sale.
