Shows

Shows are a great place to come to see the wide variety of camellia blooms.

Shows generally open Saturdays at 7:00 AM for those bringing flowers. Entries generally must be in by 10:00-10:30 AM (check the show schedule) for judging. Shows open for general viewing at 1:00 PM (Saturdays) and open at each venue's opening time on Sundays. Some shows have plants available for sale, and some shows have demonstrations of culture.

Some shows also feature a flower arranging category.
