Camellias are known for their elegant, often waxy petals. This waxy coating, called a cuticle, helps the flower stay fresh by preventing water loss.

Read the size clue
Imagine holding a camellia flower in your hand. It's about 80 millimeters (8.0 centimeters) wide, which is roughly the width of an adult's hand or a small teacup. Its height is around 60 millimeters (6.0 centimeters), similar to a standard sticky note. The flower is not very thick, with a depth of about 30 millimeters (3.0 centimeters), like two stacked erasers. So, a camellia is wider than it is tall, and not very deep, making it a beautiful, compact bloom that fits nicely in your palm.
Quick Check
How wide is a camellia flower in centimeters?
Estimate
Find an object in your classroom or home that is about 6 cm tall. What is it?
Compare the width of a camellia (8 cm) to the length of your shortest finger. Is the camellia shorter or longer?
