Every time we get a freeze, it is my duty to cut the camellias. The delicate blossoms turn brown after a freeze, so we always try to save as many as we can, appreciating their beauty in every room of the house.
Our white camellias have a genetic abnormality that causes the plant to produce two blossoms from a single bud, like conjoined twins. As you can see here, the broad, flat, outside petals are shared by both flowers. They are so interesting, and also so uniquely beautiful.
