Very exotic. It is hard to believe that there are only two of these in the whole wide world. One would think that by now, grafts had been taken and nurtured to fruition. Interesting presentation.

I've never even heard of this flower. It sure is beautiful though. I guess that this flower would be very valuable. I hope that it can be saved and flourish once again. Thanks for sharing this informative and well written work. Well done!

"The Rarest of the Rare", is short,succinct and very much to the point. To me, this is a six. I look forward to seeing your next post. Good luck with the contest.

I must admit I have never heard of the red camellia before now! I love camellias and wish I could see these in person. Thanks for sharing the information.
