Я сам внес вклад в эту книжку – 28 сделанных мною фотографий камелий (преимущественно из моего сада) и небольшой текст о селекционерах камелий с моего сайта www.sazanka.org. Если вы хотите приобрести книжку Общества Камелий, вы можете сделать это на их сайте www.socalcamellias.org в разделе Make a Purchase.

Цитата из текста с моего сайта www.sazanka.org под названием “Сазанка – Цветок Осеннего Солнца”:

“Сазанка” (Sazanka) – японское название цветущего деревца камелии Camellia sasanqua и двух родственных гибридных видов камелий – C. x hiemalis и C. x vernalis. По английски сазанка называется Sasanqua, “Сасанква”. По-японски слово “сазанка” записывается тремя иероглифами 山茶花, которые обозначают “гора”, “чай” и “цветок”, вместе “красивоцветущий горный чай”.

Southern California Camellia Society published a 50-page book called Sun Camellias about Fall-blooming Camellia sasanqua. I contributed to this book 28 photo pictures (mostly from my garden) and a small text about camellia breeders from my website www.sazanka.org. If you are interested in purchasing this book from the Camellia Society, you can do it on their website www.socalcamellias.org in the section Make a Purchase.

This book is written by Shen Yinchun 沈荫椿, a Chinese American living in the San Francisco Bay Area. The preface is written by Barbara Tuffy, a recent president of the American Camellia Society. American camellia people usually call Shen Yinchun “Y.C. Shen” or simply “Y.C.”



This picture shows me, my younger son and Mr. Shen in University of California at Berkeley Botanical Garden, near the Asian section of the garden.

Another Chinese book about camellias has a picture of young Y.C. Shen with his father Shen Yuanru 沈渊如. This picture was taken back in 1967, one year before both of them were arrested by Chinese Communists during Mao’s “Cultural Revolution”:
