Kwanjin,

Over the last couple of years I have posted, and attracted a lot of attention, by the pictures of my "Bob Hope" Camellia. Seems no one (??) has this one. It is a beautiful, double red. The petals are wavy with bright yellow stamens in the center.

Years ago, I bought it at my HD. It is now a bush about 5' tall. Covered with buds for next Spring's show!

I sent Mike (mqiq77) in Georgia about 30 cuttings. He seems to be an expert on Camellia propagation and has helped me out with advice and given me all kinds of praise on how beautiful my blooms are.
Maybe you could contact him next Summer and see if he would share a cutting with you. I am hoping many of them rooted for him. Camellias are, supposedly, very hard to root.

I will see if I can find a picture to post for you.
