New Zealand Camellia Bulletin, March 1999, Issue No.132, vol.XXI, No.1, p.13, Reg. No.395. Registered by N. Haydon, Takanini, New Zealand. A seedling of the C.sasanqua x C.fraterna cross Yoimachi x an unknown pollen parent, which first flowered in 1992. The plant is fast-growing, has a slender, fastigate, upright form, can set several buds at each leaf axil, and flowers early to late. Flower is single, 6 cm diameter x 1.5 cm deep, having 6-7 recurving, obcordate petals of heavy texture. Petals are pink (RHS.CC.65B) at the outer edge shading to near-white at the centre, giving an overall colour impression of light pink (RHS.CC.65C). The name evokes the spire-like appearance of the plant when in flower.
