White flowered camellias do not usually do well in the open in our climate. The weather generally spoils the blooms rather quickly. Given a good, sheltered protection it is a different story, as this prize-winning specimen of Camellia japonica White Nun shows. Its very large, bowl-shaped semi-double bloom has mostly flat petals against the side and delicately shaded stamens in the centre. This is a magnificent plant in all respects, with deep green foliage and vigorous, upright growth.
