Camellias

Beautiful  species of Camellias grow all over UNC Charlotte's campus. Today as I was walking by I was captured by these white bushes in the ravine near the entrance to the arboretum.   They were so white I did not recognize them at first.  I have seen lots of pink varieties but these were just beautiful.  They say Camellia Tea oil is quite nutritious and tasty though I have never tried it.  It comes from the seeds of the flower when they are crushed and is often flavored and served with bread.....
