Apple Blossom  Hume, 1946, Camellias in America: "Dr D.W. McLean advises that a variety of C.japonica was propagated from an old plant in the garden of Mr Youtz, Pasadena, California, and named ‘Apple Blossom’ by him." This has since been found to be the same as Americana.

Description

» English Description

RHS, Index 1927, p.282: A single with 7 obovate petals, 3.5 cm wide and long, with a central cylindrical stamen cluster about 1.8 cm long, with golden anthers. The flower is white, flushed Rose Opal, HCC, 022/2, about 6.5 cm across. Leaves, broadly-elliptic, 8 cm long by 6 cm broad, apex shortly acuminate, margins, shallowly crenate-serrulate. Plant habit is upright and compact. This cultivar was introduced by the Sander Nursery, Bruges, Bel­gium, about 1915 and named by them ‘Joy Sander’. However no prior listing of this name has been located and it thus remains a synonym. Synonyms ‘Apple Blossom’(England), ‘Joy Sander’. Received a RHS, "Award of Merit", 1933. There are 4 other Camellias which bear the name ‘Apple Blosson’ but this one would appear to have priority. The Japanese camellia Furō-­an has been confused with this cultivar in England.
