Ten-thousand-flower Camellia
The Ten-thousand-flower Camellia is a Camellia reticulata tree[1] at Jade Peak Temple, near the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in China. The plant is reputed to be over 500 years old.[2]
It is not clear if two varieties have been grafted onto a single stock, or if the stock variety also shows in the flowering.[3]
In a nearby courtyard a pair of Michelia yunnanensis, some 120 years old, have been trained in a similar formation.[2]
