March 6th and 7th is the 86th Camellia Weekend in the Camellia City. This is a celebration that endures even as many flower shows and garden clubs have withered. Sacramento's annual camellia show now ranks as one of the oldest and largest continuously held shows in the state devoted to a single flower.
Come out and bring your own Camellias or get some from a neighbor. They can be submitted for judging from 7:30 to 10 a.m. Saturday. The show has divisions for adults and a category for kids, ages 5 to 16. Novices should plan to enter blooms by 9 a.m.
