tamararly, The possibilities of Hybridization are virtually unlimited. You can cross-pollinate similar or different camellias. Most of the Camellia sasanquas that exist in our gardens today are really hybrids of Camellia sasanqua and Camellia japonica. The original Sasanquas were all white in their native japan. From the Japonica genes, we have the colors.

Many foliage characteristics would be passed on through hybridization. I have a Holly Leaf Camellia. Most seedlings of this variety or seedlings resulting from pollen from this variety have that same Holly Leaf characteristic. Cross-pollinate to your heart'delight. It is lots of fun.

There is an article on Camellia Hybridization in the latest edition of the Free Online E-Newsletter called THE CAMELLIA GARDENER. Check the link below.

Here is a link that might be useful: The Camellia Gardener November/December 2009

Oh! Thank you very much for encouraging me! So I started my first try with C. crapnelliana and oleifera. Crapnelliana's flower has already fallen down. Now I can wait and hope that the fruit will not be empty! :)

Thank you also very much for sharing your interesting link!
