Description

» English Description

Magnolia Gardens and Nursery Catalogue, 1944-1945: From the Tea Gardens. Large, open blooming semi-double coloured bright pink, with veined petals. Fendig, 1951, American Camellia Catalogue: A medium to large, bright pink, incomplete double, (semidouble to anemone form) 8-10 cm across x 4 cm deep. Petals are round, about 5 cm. in diameter, notably veined with the apex shallowly notched. There are a few crinkled and folded petaloids which are intermixed with the central stamens. Leaves glossy, dark green, 7.5 cm. x 3.8 cm, oval, blunt apex, margins shallowly serrate; vigorous, bushy growth. Blooms late. One of the old Tea Garden varieties previously known as ‘Tea Garden No.283’, believed to have originally been imported from Europe and renamed, but no relation to Prima Dona above. For illustration see p.284, Hertrich, 1954, ‘Camellias in the Huntington Gardens’, vol.I. Orthographic variant: ‘Primadonna’. Sport: Prima Donna Variegated.
