The Camellia Register credits it to Ruby Aaron of Lake Charles, Louisiana; registered in 1956. Is that correct? It’s a fine Camellia, still widely grown and sold I believe.
I’m Aaron born Feb. 4 1957 L.C. Memorial. I have the trophy for Lafayette Camellia Society, Civic Award, January 12, 1957.
That’s a good picture, nice to see. Thank you!
I very much doubt whether any nursery here would want to go through all the phytosanitary hoops to send one and I’m pretty sure it would be prohibitively expensive. Maybe you could track a growing plant down via a Camellia Society over there and get someone to take cuttings?
