Miss Bakersfield Reigns

photo courtsey of The American Camellia Society

Remember those bushes of flowers all over Bakersfield that you could never quite figure out? They sorta looked like roses, or maybe Gardenia’s - but not quite. Well, I have discovered (in my never ending quest to provide you with useless bits of Bake Town trivia) that that flower is called a Camellia and the official Bakersfield City flower is the “Miss Bakersfield Camellia.”

I’m sure you all will sleep better tonight knowing that.
