Positive	Monocromatico	On Mar 31, 2004, Monocromatico from Rio de Janeiro Brazil (Zone 11) wrote: This plant was only recently introduced in cultivation in USA, and after its first trials under low temperatures, it showed special resistence, with little damages, and even a few flowers after it. According to a website, this chinese species is closely related to the most popular Camellia japonica, but - to my own surprise - it has bigger flowers, with a touch of orange on the red petals, and a wide brush of yellow stamens. It starts blooming in late winter, and continues until mid spring.
