On Sunday, I posted my first set of camellia photos from Magnolia Plantation and Gardens in Charleston, South Carolina. Here are the remaining camellia photos.

If you are ever in the Charleston area, I would really recommend that you visit Magnolia Plantation. In addition to the wonderful gardens, part of the property is an Audubon Swamp Garden. I took some photos in the Swamp Garden with my Crown Graphic camera. I’ll be posting the photos I took there on my other blog – Patty’s Adventures with Film – once I have a chance to scan the photos.

Now, back to the camellias . . .

Frank Houser V. – a camellia reticulata hybrid known for it’s red and white marbled blossoms. These have been grown at Magnolia Plantation since 1990.

Revelation – a historic camellia japonica grown at Magnolia Plantation since 1942. I love the way this flower was backlit by the sun the morning I photographed it.

And finally – a pair of Spring Snowflakes – leucojum vernum. I know these aren’t camellias – but they were so pretty I had to include them in my set of flower photos from Magnolia Plantation.
