SUMMARY:Cultural Talk: Higo Camellia by Garland Bayley\, Oregon Camellia Society
DESCRIPTION:\nCamellias blooming in Portland Japanese Garden. Photo by Julia Taylor.\n\n\n\nCome view and learn about the elegant beauty of camellias. Garland Bayley of the Oregon Camellia Society (OCS) will present a special talk on Higo camellias in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center from 1:15 – 2:15pm.\n\n\n\nCamellias are some of the few flowers guests to Portland Japanese Garden may see blooming throughout our landscape in colder months. While they appear throughout our grounds\, one favorite location is the Camellia Tunnel\, an interwoven arch of these flowers that has been in the Strolling Pond Garden since its earliest years. When facing the 18-foot-tall Sapporo Pagoda Lantern\, veer right toward the Moon Bridge to pass through the tunnel.\n\n\n\nNative to Japan\, China and Southeast Asia\, these evergreen broad-leaf shrubs can reach heights of six to 12 feet tall. Treasured in Japan for centuries\, camellias are also well-suited for Oregon gardens. They are drought tolerant\, easy to prune\, and are resistant to insects and pests. With a remarkable number of different blooms with varying sizes\, colors\, forms\, textures\, and sometimes even fragrances\, these stunning and culturally important flowers are best appreciated in person.\n\n\n\nAbout the Oregon Camellia Society\n\n\n\nThe Oregon Camellia Society (OCS) is dedicated to promoting\, growing\, and caring for camellias. Established in 1942\, the OCS is one of the oldest camellia societies in the country\, and also propagates unusual camellia cultivars for eventual planting in local communities. Garland Baley serves as the organization’s president.\n
