Experience the beauty of the rare Mountain Camellia
Naturalist, gardener, and Stewartia expert Jack Johnston is back to lead us on our yearly expedition to view the showy Mountain Camellia (Stewartia ovata) flowers growing in the wild. This gentle, easy walk will take us past numerous plants sporting their striking white blooms, all while Jack regales us with his in-depth knowledge of these and other native plants. As always, we are bound to be distracted by other botanical delights along the way!
We will meet at the Otto Post Office (8491 Georgia Rd, Otto, NC 28763) just before 10:00am on Friday, June 26th, then carpool/caravan a short distance to the event location. Expect to be out for about 2 hours, and bring anything you may need during that time including water, sun protection, a snack, and a camera to photograph the beautiful flowers!
