Give those blooms away to promote public interest in camellias

摘要

In the last few months we have seen a resurgence of the use of camellias for funerals and special events in our area of Men inc. Louisiana. Once camellias dominated the winter season before California and imported flowers took over. For example, we provided funeral wreaths to a fellow c.imel-lian. Stephanie had made a circle of 'Daikaguras', a circle of 'Royal Velvets', and a wreath from honeysuckle and wisteria ines adorned with blooms of 'Little Dixie'. 'Pink Perfection' was the deceased's favorite camellia, but they were in short supply at the time. We have heard of camellia blooms used to cover caskets and wreaths created by other camellians for family and friends. We are sure many of you are doing the same, and those that aren't might consider doing so. The camellias are a different sight at a funeral and stand out as a personal effort and a unique presentation.
