Camelia ..

La camelia proviene dalla Cina e dal Giappone, dove ne crescono moltissime varietà. In Europa le camelie furono importate da G. J. Camel a partire
dalla seconda metà del 1700. Tuttavia, questa splendida pianta raggiunse grande popolarità soltanto un secolo dopo, in seguito al successo del romanzo di Dumas, "La signora delle camelie". Da allora, infatti, il fiore della camelia iniziò ad essere usato come ornamento di scollature ed orli degli
abiti delle signore; Madame Chanel ha insegnato a portarla sui suoi tailler. Negli anni '30 del 1900, la camelia era una pianta fondamentale e sempre presente nella maggior parte dei giardini tardo-romantici di tutta l'Europa. Dalle foglie di alcune varietà si ricava il tè. In Italia è coltivata soprattutto sulle sponde del lago Maggiore.
