Faszination Duftkamelien/Fascination Scented Camellias
by Helga Urban, with English translation by Klaus Urban

Helga Urban has been dealing with fragrance all her business life, so it is no surprise that her interest in fragrance has influenced her long-held passion for camellias.  In this slim volume, she details the surprisingly large number of fragrant, or scented camellias that are available.  As Helga notes, practically all people interested in camellias look for fragrance in the blooms and are disappointed initially when the variety turns out scentless.  But steer those people to the camellia species and cultivars which are fragrant, and delight can quickly turn to passion, as well.
