A Must Have Book if You Love Camelias

This book contains all you want to know about ALL camelias. Contains valuable references to all types available. I have not found any book that is as complete as this one. The photos are very accurate and can be used like a field guide. [...] has the best price on this book so it's a great reference and super value.

Beautiful camelias

I bought this book to help identify my camelias. It has helped some, but this book also deals with the newest camelias. All of mine are at least about fifty ro more years old. I do not know if they are nativie to Alabama, but likely they are. It is still a very good book and well written

Beautiful book on Camellias

This is a great reference on Camellias. It tells you all about the different types and their bloom times. Best of all, it has tons of pictures - all close up of a bloom so you know exactly what each camellia looks like. An essential resource for anyone wanting to research what camellias to purchase.

Comprehensive

It was a huge help in identifying for purchase 50 new plants for our garden. Beautiful pictures and an excellent history included.

As the title promises: An illustrated Encyclopedia

This book presents over 1000 varieties of Camellias with short descriptions, parentage and flower period. The most remarkable point is that all varieties are illustrated with stunning photographies. The Camellias are grouped in several chapters: species, sasanquas, japonicas, higos, reticulatas and hybrids with short introductions dealing with their characteristics. The reader will see the full scope of Camellias and has the chance to compare synononyms, even chinese/japanese names are listed. However, of the 300 pages there are only 9 pages dedicated to the cultivation of Camellias. A hobby gardener interested how to grow Camellias will be disappointed.
