Ever since the discovery of this species in tropical Guangxi Province, China, more than fifty years ago hybridists have been trying to use its genes to produce yellow blooming camellias for gardens in temperate zones. A dream for camellia enthusiasts everywhere. After much work by many hybridists, producing thousands of seedlings with ‘nearly yellow’ flowers is it possible that, at last, ICS members all over the world will be celebrating the next fifty years with mass plantings of beautiful camellias covered with golden yellow flowers ? 50 YEARS FRONT COVER PICTURE The front cover shows part of a collection of International Camellia Journals dating from 1962 to 2012. The article on p20 includes outlines of the their development from the first journal produced by Charles Puddle in 1962, before the days of computers, digital cameras and instant communication. JOURNAL PRODUCTION The International Camellia Journal goes through several stages before reaching its readers. Graham Mallett has been integral to the whole process during the last six years. The editor gathers articles and photographs from around the world, all received as e-mail attachments, or by other electronic methods. Texts are stored, organised into some order and edited. Photographs are checked for relevance, quality and definition. Enjoyable and creative exchanges of e-mails often take place.
