| | Camellia Society / Camellia Club , Mississippi Gulf Coast |
 | | Camellia selection topics include: checklists, locally introduced camellias, antique camellias, cold hardy camellias, fragrant camellias, and camellias with very large and miniature blooms. |
 | | Our camellia society membership is primarily drawn from the towns of Ocean Springs, Biloxi, Gulfport, Long Beach, Pass Christian, Diamondhead, Kiln, Bay St. Louis and Waveland and from the counties of Jackson, Stone, Harrison and Hancock. |
 | | (Grafted camellias have all but disappeared from the nursery trade, but they are often the only way to obtain prized show-winning varieties.) Other activities at the show include demonstrations on preserving camellia blooms for flower arrangements by waxing; a plant raffle; talks on camellia care; and presentation of a camellia of the year. |
