The beginning of this story, read:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 6, 7, 8, 9 .

So the next day at dawn Eugene Vitka already resorted to Maschke home. It was still so early that she even could not refrain from astonishment, with a frightened Sonia, how was her friend, was so early to rise, to which he said that it is very interesting it was to learn something new from plant life, that do not sleep. And he can't wait for the trip to the woods or the lake.

The girl smiled slyly and said that tomorrow they will go on a journey, well today she has something very interesting.

• And you, do not be fooled? - incredulously asked Victor.
• I never cheated - strictly interrupted Mary, - just do not know if the Funnels to make all three of us... Well, tomorrow will be clear, - she waved a hand, - we'll think of something, now let's go in the garden.

In the garden they wouldn't have to go far from the entrance. Almost next to him lies a gorgeous Bush covered with white-pink flowers.

• Know the name of this Bush?, she asked the boys.

They only shook their heads in different directions, sort of, where they know something about it.

• You that, never heard of such a flower as the Camellia? - asked in surprise Maria.
• Well, I heard my grandmother growing in a pot. Well, it is small, not something this huge Bush.
• She's different appearance, - laughed Masha - there is room variety, but there is that one that grows in gardens. It's Japanese and Chinese varieties of camellias.
• This is Japanese, but it has many subspecies, about a thousand, which differ from each other in shape and color of flower, and plant height.
• In addition, the flowers can be simple, semi-double and double.

• Unfortunately, camellias, and quite complex. That is why these plants are not very common in our country. Although, if you maintain the required illumination level and maintain the desired composition of the soil, the Camellia will delight people.
• Yes, its homeland is South-East Asia, China, Japan and India. And called it by the name of Moravian naturalist and priest, G. Th. Kamaliya, who brought it to Europe from the Philippines.
  But in the garden this plant can only grow in a warm climate, as we do, when even in winter there are frosts more than ten degrees. Such a temperature it can safely move. Well, in the more Northern areas in winter, it needs to be in the room. In the summer it carried out either in the garden or on the balcony.
• And how is it propagated? - asked Eugene.
• By seeds, strains, vaccinations, but mainly by cuttings. But this issue is quite complicated. Handle it only by adults.
• In principle, I have already told you about the Camellia, you can see it better, but still can show you pictures of other varieties of this plant that I found on the Internet. Want? Then went.

A while children look at pictures with beautiful colors, then it's time to say goodbye.

Before they parted, agreed that the boys will come to the edge of the forest and Masha there gonna take it, and they will go further for the right horse to the forest pond.

The time has come for us to say goodbye.

Thank you, to new meetings!
