Please ask me for the names of the Rhododendrons
RHODODENDRONS
An incredible colour in a specie rhododendron
Rhododendrons may vary so much in their colouring, both in shape
of bloom and leaf too
Note the double cup effect on this American hybrid
Individual throat colouring from large splashes of to a scattering
of dots, give a lot of variation in individual flowers
These stronger markings in the throat give another kind of beauty
to this Rhododendron
This Rhododendron grows to only a foot high and has clear red waxy
flowers
And yet another way to show off its flowers
Many acid loving plants are great to associate with the Rhododendron,
this time Viburnum "Maresii"
This is a new [last year] Australian hybrid Rhododendron "Sunset"
This beautiful Rhododendron has the most heavenly perfume
DECIDUOUS AZALEAS
Forget-me-nots cool down the fiery deciduous Azalea
Subtle blend of colours in yet another deciduous Azalea
Another colour blend showing how versatile these azaleas can be
And if you need subtle colouring for your garden scheme, this is
a very soft colour
This particular Azalea is growing next door to a lovely conifer
Most of the Rhododendrons I can name, so, if you are interested
in a particular one, ask me in our discussions
I enjoy that and I think you may too. We learn a lot and
have a lot of fun.
