Description - Camellias by Ann Richardson
The Huntington's renowned camellia collection, one of the most diverse public collections anywhere, is well documented in this lavishly illustrated book. More than eighty four-colour photographs feature the popular pink, red, and white japonicas as well as the stunning black-red 'Night Rider', among other rarities. Nineteenth-century botanical illustrations from the Huntington Library's rare book collections are also reproduced. This handy guide will help you learn to tell japonicas from reticulatas and sasanquas as you tour the 207-acre Huntington estate, while Curator Ann Richardson offers many fascinating facts about the history and cultivation of the camellia. For those who grow camellias, for those who want to, or for those who appreciate the beauty of this special flower, all will find much to discover in this beautiful book.
