Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Camellia 'Winter's Fire'. In December 2022, I noticed that one individual in this accession bears virus-variegated flowers; this "version" of the clone has been published and is included in the International Camellia Register as 'Winter's Fire Variegated'. I had changed the name of the accession at that time, but later noticed that the other plant in the accession does not appear to be infected and is 'Winter's Fire'. Most likely the virus was transmitted unintentionally during grafting, but the rootstock was not all infected; this has happened with a number of Ackerman's camellia selections that he donated to USNA in the 2000s, often as plants that he had previously obtained from nurseries. The virused plant, formerly NA 75560-H, will now be recorded as NA 87588-H instead. -SBL
