This illusive variegated Camellia, produces flowers of four or five 
distinct forms and structure. Even the color, dark-red to deep pink, 
with white variegations, shows chameleon characteristics. 
The flowers are so variable when grown under conditions where 
the factors of sunlight, temperature, fertility and degree of acidity in 
soils are different, one can never know from season to season what to 
expect in color, size, number of petals or form, when the buds unfold. 
The graceful informality of these flowers, the ease with which the 
buds open, in spite of wide temperature changes, marks this Camellia 
as a worthwhile sort. 
Blossoms 3 to 3Vz inches in diameter, blooming December to 
March. 
For Southern gardens, its winter hardiness commends liberal plant¬ 
ing. As a conservatory variety, its chief interest is the variable forms, 
sizes and color markings of the many flowers.

This is a Camellia difficult of word description. 
An exciting and most interesting variety, because of its variable 
habits in form, structure, size, color markings and interesting pure pink 
sports occasionally found on blooming plants. 
Frequently, seven distinct flowers will be seen on plants three feet 
or larger, each blossom so different from the other, it is hard to be¬ 
lieve all could come from the same plant. 
Flowers 3 to 4 inches across; white predominates, with penciling 
of pink on twisted and curled petals of varying sizes and number, form¬ 
ing flowers of simple singles, semi-doubles and rather full peony types, 
with golden anthered stamens among the petals. 
Truly a charming variety for either Southern gardens or conserva¬ 
tory culture, blooming freely from November to March. 
On Jan. 7th, 1931. a New Orleans party bought a "thin" 30-inch 
plant of this variety, paying $4.00. Exactly six years later, he advised 
having sold this same Camellia from his garden for $f>0.00. Can you 
imagine a better investment, during a period of a severe financial de¬ 
pression ?
