  Yuri hello
  I am looking for C. ‘Yuletide’, and found your site via GOOGLE. I had one for 20 + years until I killed it by putting it outside too early when I had to go away for a few weeks two years ago. Though I purchased it here -near Phialdelphia- I cannot locate one at a the local nursery. From your web site it looks like you maybe able to help me.
  thanks
  jane

  Jane:

  If you cannot find Yuletide at your local nursery, you can order it from one of mail-order nurseries, for example http://camforest.com http://nucciosnurseries.com http://www.camelliashop.com
  Look to the right side of the main page ( http://sazanka.org ) for the list of nurseries.

  Hello Yuri!
  I am with Charlotte Taste Magazine in Charlotte, NC. I am writing a story on Camellia Sasanquas and I would like to use some of your beautiful photos if possible. I would greatly appreciate it.

  Thank you for your time and consideration

  Greetings!
  First of all, congradulations for the website.
  Second:
  I’m an university student (last year) of Genetics and Biotechnology in Portugal, and I’m doing molecular analysis of a small population of Camellia sasanqua. Unfortunately, there are no great scientific articles in this subject with this specie. So I ask you if you know some or if you know some website where I can search about the genetic part of this plant. It would help me a lot.

  Thanks a lot, and sorry if I waste your time.
  Best wishes

  Dear Rui Pacheco:

  I e-mailed you some references. Sorry, it took too long – I was unusually busy for the last three weeks, including attending American Camellia Conference here in California.

  Hello Yuri-
  I just heard about your website and took a look–very nice! I liked the Chinese book information as well as much of the other information.
  I wanted to add a couple of edit suggestions for the ‘About the site’ page:
  1) ‘sasanqua is called “cha-mai” ‘: change ‘mai’ to ‘mei’
  2) you have the correct character for ‘mei’ displayed; however, this is the character for ‘plum’, not ‘pretty’ (another, very common, character also romanized ‘mei’ means ‘pretty). So a gloss would be ‘tea-plum’.

  Our son died in 1991 and at that time we received a camellia called
  Conrad Camellia, as a gift. His name was Conrad. The plant died and I would love to have another. It was a beautiful white blossom. Does anyone have a source on this plant?
