The Days of Camelia during March and April in Montenegro, offers dazzling exhibitions of floral displays of camellias, combining the creativity, art and floral mastery of the people of Kotor Bay.
According to legend, in 1870 this exotic ornamental flower was brought by a Stoliv captain from Japan to Kotor Bay as a present for his wife and since then it grew to become the most fashionable and prized flower in the region, as it brightens winter and spring days with its colourful blossoms, warming people’s hearts.
To celebrate the camellias, diverse events are organised in Stoliv and Kotor Bay, including floral exhibitions, fine arts exhibitions, the Camellia Ball, the contest of the Miss Camellia and much more.
