Plant of the Day

Monday 24 March 2025

Growing in this woodland garden was Stewartia pseudocamellia (deciduous camellia, Japanese stewartia) thriving in the shelter from cold, drying winds. This small deciduous tree has attractive flaking bark, cupped 5-petalled, white flowers in summer and good orange-red autumn colour.

Stewartia Monadelpha On the climb down Mt. Banjirodake, came across a few very tall and unusual trees known as tall stewartia (Species: Stewartia monadelpha) that are native to the tropical mountain regions of Japan. The smooth, cinnamon colored trunks reach far above the canopy and stand in stark contrast to the surrounding cedar and beech woods.

Red oriental poppies eclipsing a stewartia tree but probably not for long.

Lichen on!

So glad I got to see the mountain camellias (Stewartia ovata) bloom this year. #AppalachianMountains #summer #camellia #Theaceae #Stewartia #Appalachia #plants #trees #nativeplants #botany #botanical #botanizing #ecology #forest #endemicplants #nativetrees #NorthCarolina #flowers #flowering #mountaincamellia #conservation #plantsoftheday #plantoftheday
