Of them, 10 cross-combinations were included. The results showed that the hybrids were consistently tended to C. azalea on flower bud formation and development, blooming period, leaf trait and plant growth, but flower color, flower form and flower size of the hybrids, in a great degree, were dependent on the traits of another non-C, azalea＇s cross-parent. The hybrids all can bloom from summer to December and even to next spring. The hybrids＇ photographs illustrated in the paper show that their flowers are beautiful with different color, form and size. Also some of genetic laws of C. azalea＇s hybrids were discussed. These fire-new hybrids firstly fill the blank that no camellia flowers can be enjoyed in summer in the world.展开更多
