New Zealand Camellia Bulletin, March 2008 No.159, p.3, Reg. No. 479. Bred by Neville Haydon, Takanini, New Zealand, and registered by Andrew Tills, Camellia Haven Nursery. A cross between C.reticulata hybrid Gael’s Dream and an unknown pollen parent. First flowered in 2000. Plant is rapid growing, of average form and density. Dark green leaves are 11 cm x 6 cm. Flower is semi-double to loose peony, 13 cm wide x 6 cm deep, with about 18 petals having a soft, slightly crushed texture. Filaments are white and anthers bright yellow. The flowers open a delicate pink (RHS.CC. 65D), fading to a palest pink in the mature flower. Such pale colours are still unusual in reticulata hybrids. Flowers mid-season to late.
