A camellia in bloom in February is how locals know the winter is over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe festival ended in 2007, but the bushes did not, and the name stuck. Older Sacramentans still call it the Camellia City without thinking about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA flower that blooms in winter is a natural ornament.
