'Tis the season for camellias in Greensboro. Camellias are sometimes known as Japanese roses. They were originally cultivated in Asia from the Himalayas to Japan and Indonesia. They are an evergreen shrub, known for their dark green, glossy leaves and their abundance of flowers. Did you know their is a camellia nursery in Greensboro? Actually, it is in Brown Summit, just north of Greensboro and is called Cam Too Camellia Nursery. It is a wholesale nursery started in 1982 (we're guessing by Ray Watson whose name is the only one we see on the website).
Cam Too is committed to advancing camellia cultivation, getting varieties that do better in the colder temperature ranges, bloom longer, and are more floriferous. Their nursery is on 60 acres of land off of Highway 150. We don't know if the above bush came from their nursery, but it is thriving and blooming in full glory at the corner of Mayflower Drive and Wright Avenue in Greensboro, at the edge of Sunset Hills and Lindley Park neighborhoods. The color is especially showy with the backdrop of healthy, green foliage.
Very pretty!
