The Jersey Post Office issued five stamps on 21 March to mark the International Camellia Society's Congress from 30 March to 4 April. The stamps are a good example of the diversity of the camellia world 'Captain Rawes', on the 18p stamp, arrived in England from China in 1820, the first C. reticulata to reach the West. 'Brigadoon', on the 23p stamp, a C. x williamsii, is a cross be tween C. saluenensis and C. japonica 'Princess Baciocchi', a semi-double from Armstrong Nurseries in the USA in 1960. 'Elsie Jury', on the 30p stamp, a .C. saluenensis x C. japonica 'Pukekura' hybrid ofpeonyform, was produced by Les Jury in New Zealand in 1964. 'Augusto Leal de Gouveia Pinto', on the 35p stamp, is a C. japonica formal double from Portugal, first seen about 1904. 'Bella Romana', on the 41 pstamp, is a rose form double from a C. japonica cultivar raised from seed by Del Grande, a nursery owner in Florence, Italy, in 1856. It was dedicated to Rome on the occasion ofthe Italian unification. The idea for the camellia stamp issue was broached to the ICS Directors by Mrs. Mayda Reynolds in 1986. It was put to the Jer sey Post Office two years later. The camellias are from the Jersey gardens of Mrs. Mayda Reynolds and Mrs. Vi Lort-Phillips and were photographed by Stuart Abraham, a commercial photographer, Final work on the layout was begun in 1992 by Mrs. Andree Valentine, now Philatelic Manager of the Jersey Post Office.
