Description: This circa 1955 postcard shows one of Sacramento's defining symbols, the camellia. It's believed that the first camellia came to Sacramento in 1852 and, by the early 1900s, the Capital City started to be referred to as "The Camellia City." Various events, including the Camellia Show (starting in 1924) and the Camellia Festival (running from 1954 to 1994), have been held to celebrate the flower, native to Asia.
