June 26, 2020 – Stewartia

Korean Stewartia, Stewartia koreana or Stewartia pseudocamellia koreana, is showing its lovely cream colored blooms right now. These camellia-like blooms come just after most of the spring flowering trees have completed their bloom cycle, so it offers a wonderful treat of cool cream colored petals with a yellow stamen. These blooms are especially welcomed during the beginning of the summer!
