Carvain's Silk Moire'
A Texan silk-textured semi-double with twenty-two petals and six petaloids, bred in Fort Worth.
Originated by Jon Laird Carvain of Fort Worth, Texas, this eight-year chance seedling was registered in 1972. The semi-double flowers display white variegation with twenty-two petals and six petaloids — the name 'Silk Moire' evoking the watered-silk pattern of its petal coloring. Growth is upright, dense, and rapid with dark green foliage. First published in the American Camellia Yearbook. Source: International Camellia Register.
