Camellias are special to the South and were first introduced in South Carolina 1786 by French botanist André Michaux to Middleton place. The camellia tea is a special tradition in the town of Edgefield, South Carolina each February. The event first began in the 1940s, disappeared for decades and began again in 2008. More than 200 beautiful camellia blooms ranging from 1790s to 2000s are on display, from local gardens. Each bloom is labeled with name and date and resides in a glass vase within the historic Magnolia Dale, 1843 house museum. Guests attend for free and enjoy a fine array of homemade tea refreshments on silver platters and hot Russian tea as they peruse the blooms and enjoy the pleasant afternoon.
