Eng. Jorge Garrido (C.reticulata hybrid) European Reg. No. 157. International Camellia Journal 2021, No.53, p.26. C.reticulata seedling of unknown parentage.  First bloomed in 2013 by António Assunção, camellia specialist in Guimarães, Portugal, and named by him in honor of Eng. Garrido, a Portuguese engineer.  The cultivar is a slow-growing, dense and prostrate plant.  The elongated, red flower buds open very late in the season into imbricated formal double blooms.  The medium-sized blooms have yellow stamens and white filaments.  Leaves are dark green, glossy and acuminate, and 11 cm long and 5 cm wide on average.  The spent flowers shatter. Jorge Garrido, 2014.
