◆ Because it is an ornithophily, the properties of each strain are diverse. The oil taken from camellia seeds is "camellia oil", but it is also called "camellia oil" with the English name camellia. In the Goto Islands of Nagasaki Prefecture, which is a famous production area of ​​camellia oil, wild camellia grows naturally and many camellia fruits are harvested. The colors of camellia flowers are generally red, white, and pink, either in one color or in combination. However, varieties that bloom rare yellow flowers are also known. There are many stamens in the flowers. This is to make a lot of pollen. Camellia has the property of not producing seeds by attaching its pollen to the pistil in the same flower. Therefore, pollen must be applied to the pistils of flowers of other strains. Therefore, it is better to have more pollen. Since camellia flowers bloom when it is cold, I am worried that I may not be able to entrust the movement of pollen to bees and butterflies. However, since camellia is a typical bird squid, pollen is carried by bulbuls and white-eyes. Due to such breeding, the nature of camellia varies from strain to strain. Since breeding is also carried out using this property, the number of varieties will increase.
