Description

» English Description

Thomasville Nursery Catalogue, 1838-1939: White. Large, slightly cupped semi-double. Vigorous, spreading growth. Blooms mid-season. Synonyms: ‘May Watson’, ‘Mrs Fritz Saunders’. The parent plant is in Magnolia Gardens, John’s Island, South Carolina, USA and is said to have originally been imported from Europe. However the modern cultivar in America is not the same as the original European camellia of that name. See illustration, p.349, Hertrich, 1954, Camellias in the Huntington Gardens, vol.I. See also colour photo, Francesco, 1984, Floriculture, Lago Maggiore, p.10 as ‘Thriphosa’.
