C.M. Wilson
A sport of the original 'Elegans' with silvery-white outer petals shading to pink center petaloids — RHS Award of Merit 1956 and one of the most beautiful Elegans family members.
A sport of the original 'Elegans' produced by Mrs. Ada E. Wilson, this cultivar displays one of the most complex and beautiful color patterns in the Elegans family: silvery white on the outer petals, shading to a beautiful pink in the center petaloids, sometimes showing strawberry red immediately around the central stamen cluster, with each petal typically carrying a two-to-six-millimeter white margin. The large anemone-form flowers measure ten to twelve-and-a-half centimeters across by about four-and-a-half deep. Growth is compact and slightly pendulous. Received the RHS Award of Merit in 1956. Listed locally as 'C.M. Wilson.' Source: International Camellia Register.
