The first blossoms of 2010.Interesting Facts
There is a Camellia tree in the gardens of Schloss Pillnitz in Dresden, Germany in the state of Saxony that was reportedly brought from Japan in the late 18th century. Eastern Germany does not have the climate that will allow Camellias to survive through the Winter. The Camellia has survived in this harsh climate for over 100 years. This tree has been able to do so because the caretakers of Schloss Pillnitz developed a mobile greenhouse on tracks that will move over the tree as the weather begins to get too cold for Camellias to survive.The name Camellia was named after the Jesuit pharmacist Georg Josef Kamel. The most commercialized species in this genus is Camellia sinensis, otherwise known as tea.
