Kamels flower
The name is derived from the Camellia flower, which was named by botanist Carl Linnaeus in honor of the Jesuit priest and botanist Georg Joseph Kamel. In the language of flowers, these blooms represent longing, excellence, and passion. It is a rarer, more melodic alternative to the popular Camille or the botanical Lily.
