Nuccio's Nurseries
Your source in Southern California for a wide variety of cultivars and not-commonly-sold species. They also ship. If you want a variety your local nursery does not carry, try Nuccios. If they don't carry it, you'll probably have to graft your own!
H & H Nursery
During the camellia season they carry a variety of camellias, including some Nuccio's introductions. Large sizes and espalier are also available in season. Lots of other plants, a fun place to shop. Landscape designer available.

How to Wax a Camellia
--Webmaster's note: I have never tried it, but it sounds neat!
Instructions on how to wax camellias to preserve the blooms give them a porcelain-like shine that lasts for many days, and sometimes weeks. Great when you want to decorate for a party. Once waxed, they do not need a vase or water -- you can just display them on a plate or by themselves on a table.
