New Zealand Camellia Bulletin, March 2003, Issue No.144, vol.XXIII, No.2, p.15, Reg. No.450. Registered by Mark Jury, Tikorangi, New Zealand. A chance seedling from a C.japonica mother which first flowered in 1996, and was named for the “Year of the Volunteer”. The flower is a compact anemone form, 8 cm diameter x 4 cm deep, with 9-10 outer petals and about 110 large petal-like petaloids interspersed with a few hidden stamens. The flower is a bi-colour, mainly of a bright strawberry pink (RHS.CC.58C) with a darker centre (RHS.CC.52A). The many petals and petaloids are edged with a white to very pale pink border, the width of which is variable through the season. The plant is upright, and of average density and growth rate with dark green glossy leaves 8 cm long x 4 cm wide. Flowers early to late season. Note: The characteristics of this plant suggest that one of the parents is the C.japonica Tama-no-ura.
