I couldn't remember what it looked like but recognized the name as one that I had seen in a book.

I hope one day I see it. I love camellia apples. I've had lots of them on my big camellia and now I've been gifted with about two dozen seedlings. I don't think they'll come true but we shall see.

He-who-mows' aunt grew one that was so pretty her daughter had it registered with the American Camellia Society, named the Annie Jones Camellia.<br /><br />If you cut a night-blooming cereus/Epiphyllum bloom off the plant as soon as it is fully open when the weather's hot, you can put in the refrigerator to show everybody the next day.
