Ember Glow
A bluish-rose formal double from Ocala that fades to magenta — with over forty petals that often incurve into tiered formations.
Originated by C.M. and Lillian Gordy of Ocala, Florida, from 'Edna Campbell' crossed with an unknown pollen parent. This eighteen-year seedling produces small to medium formal double flowers in an unusual bluish rose that fades to magenta — a distinctive color shift not common among japonicas. The forty-plus petals often incurve and form tiered arrangements. Blooms mid-season to late with mid-green foliage. Published with a color photograph in the ACS Journal (June 2012). Listed locally as 'Ember Glow.' Source: International Camellia Register.
