Camellia is a plant that comes from China, but has also become popular throughout the southeast United States. They can grow up to 20 feet (6.1 m) high and their flowers can grow to 5 inches (12.7 cm) wide. Flowers usually have rounded petals that overlap, like roses. Another important feature of camellia is the leaves that are silky in the texture and remain dark green all year round. There are more than 3,000 hybrids, varieties and cultivars of camellia. The overall genus was named after the Jesuit missionary named George Kamel, who traveled around Asia and studied Flora.
