A symbolic meaning of the camellia flower depends on the color of the petals.

When to give camellias. Although the camellias are often given on Valentine's Day, you can celebrate its beauty year-round. There is no better time to send a bouquet of roses to your lover, friend or family than during the summer. During the fall and winter seasons, keep your camellia garden blooming year-round. For a winter camellia bouquet, choose an assortment of mixed white and pale pink camellia blossoms.

What should you buy for a floral arrangement? Buying flowers should always be in step with the purpose of the occasion. The more personal a gift is, the more meaningful it will be for both giver and receiver. Don't try to please every pal buy something that fits the occasion. To help you decide on the type of gift you're giving or who it's for, here are a few factors to consider.

Flower type. Consider the purpose of the gift. Would a person love to receive a single rose in a silver vase? You could also buy a variety of flower types for a vase including carnations, gerberas and tulips.

Flowers in season. If you're thinking about delivering flowers on a special day, ask yourself where you might be visiting or staying. The right flowers are often hard to find in large cities at the right time of year. Consider buying local when buying flowers. The season may also dictate the type of flowers you select. While tulips seem more romantic in the winter, spring-blooming daffodils, sweet pea and tulips work year-round. In fact, the bright spring colors of daffodils and tulips complement almost any occasion. If you're stuck, ask your florist for inspiration.

Flowers for your wedding. What to give your new husband-to-be? Your first option is usually an engagement bouquet. You're sure to impress your man when you hand him a romantic floral arrangement while he's still a bachelor.

What is the folklore of the camellia flower?

The camellia is a beautiful flowering shrub native to China and Japan.

Its long-lasting, fragrant flowers are used in Chinese cuisine. In Japan the plant is said to bring happiness, good fortune, and longevity. It is also an excellent floral symbol of longevity.

Camellias are grown for their foliage rather than for their blooms. The plants grow quickly and can be pruned back to stimulate new growth. Camellia flowers come in a wide variety of colors. Some camellias are fragrant and some have no fragrance. Most are not insect-pollinated, although some species are self-incompatible.

How do camellias bloom? Most camellias bloom from February to April. They have one or two whorls of flowers. Each flower has a calyx, which is the portion of the flower that is open when the flower is fully developed. The flowers are arranged in an inverted pyramid, where the lowest flower is at the top and the apex of the pyramid is at the bottom. The flowers are arranged around a columnar center. Each flower has five petals, which are arranged in two rows. The first row is yellow in color, and the second row is white. The flower has a five-parted keel. There is a stigma at the center of the keel. The style is long and extends from the top of the keel to the top of the ovary. The style bends slightly and ends with a single stigma. The style extends beyond the sepals and reaches the top of the corolla. The corolla is tube-shaped, and it is held by a pair of two-parted, downward-curving lobes.

The nectaries on the corolla are hidden inside the petals and are not visible until the flower opens. The nectaries secrete a sweet fluid to attract pollinating insects. The nectaries are attached to the style of the flower. The style is curved when the flower opens and straightens out as it grows longer. The ovary is shaped like a narrow cone, and it extends from the base of the style.

The pollen is sticky and is blown to the stigma by a breeze. The pollen does not float freely in the air, but the wind carries it to the stigma. When a bee lands on a flower, it touches its antennae to its mouthparts.
