I got this young plant a year ago and just love it. It is a Japonica and has just started opening up. It was supposedly discovered in Japan by a coal miner working in a field.

So do I. It is just the kind I am always looking for. I suppose the early flowering is just a result of this freak winter...

This variety is right on time for here. Around Christmas is when our Japonicas start to bloom and keep going for several months.
My sasanqua type start in early november.

They are so majestic, aren't they? I love the 'petal litter' beneath them almost as much as the blooms and foliage themselves.
Charleston is very rich with the history of camellias coming to North America.

Thanks for sharing such a unique flower.

Mary san

I wonder you have got a very good Tamanoura plant which can not be got easily even in Japan.

The width of the white belt around the margin of the petals of this variation is not so　stable as to show the different width between the plants.
It is come from the nature of the scion in the stage of taking cuttings.
Some plants produces very narrow white margin flowers so they are looked sober close to the wild camellia.
If one once got such a plant he would never see the genuine Tamanoura forever.
I remember the time that mother tree was found in the mountain of Kyusyu and I eager to get it all the time until now.
But I haven't meet any satisfactory one so far.
This is why I have not buy Tamanoura until now.
If I find such a good plant as your's at the market I wll buy it immediately without any hesitation.

Mary san, I envy your excellent plant of Tamanoura. Please make it important of this plant.

Hello Mary and Takeuchi San,
I bought Tama-No-Ura (as it is written here) a few years ago, from a well-reputed nursery in Japan. It is growing very well but has not flowered yet. Takeuchi San, thank you for your explanation, and I can only hope that my plant will resemble the pictures.
From the pictures, I think that it is, indeed, one of the most beautiful (interesting) camellias that I have seen.

Hello from Germany!

Last Sunday I had the chance to buy a "Tama-No-Ura" at Palmengarten, Frankfurt/Main at the Camellia-Exhibition. It is still very small and has still no buds or blossoms. But I hope for next year.
It was a long time for me to find such "Tama-No-Ura" to buy. When ever I asked a grower they said it would take monthes or years to wait.

Lets hope this small plant will be growing good and fast.

Kind regards
Zenzi
