" With this GPOD ingress we need to share the delicious beauty of our camellias . Here in Carmichael California , a suburb of Sacramento , outpouring - corresponding weather has awake the soft mantrap of camellia plant efflorescence in our garden . During a walk of life through the garden it becomes evident why Sacramento is experience as the “ Camellia Capital ” .

There is even an Ice Angels ® series , which are hardy to minus 10 degrees .

Our passion for camelia arises from our teenage gamey school and university years ( 1948 - 53 ) when I would present my girlfriend , now my married woman , with a camelia posy for our dancing engagement . They continue to bring back those wonderful moments . The camelia seen in this GPOD ledger entry were grown from pod , which Pauline gathered in 1960 ’s from the California State Capital gardens . "
