Rhododendron 2015

[shelagh]

Two of my favourites are looking terrific at the moment.  R. Percy Wiseman and R. Peeping Tom.

[Maggi Young]

So full of great flower, Shelagh.

Wow, I've always craved a pure yellow one.  Have taken down the name, thanks Birck.

[Maggi Young]

For a small yellow with flowers  in the style of campylogynum, Shelagh,  I'd suggest  'Merganser' it's a real charmer.  'Yellowhammer' gets tall and can be a bit leggy - but it also throws out flowers on and off all year.

Jens  - What is the other yellow just peaking out on the extreme left of the 'Nancy Evans' photo?

I wondered that - might it be Rhododendron 'Hotei' ?

Grand Recital

a Jim Barlup hybrid  a litle  less yellow than NE

(nice to be a jr member when you are close to 78)

[Maggi Young]

Oh, I don't know 'Grand Recital '  it has good flowers.

Nice to know the forum is keeping you "young" Jens! 

[johnw]

How very Rubenesque!

Thanks Jens Jr.

Rhododendron impeditum

[Tomasz Cyba]

Not as stunning as Jens's yellows, but still somewhat showy. Rhododendron 'Hachmann's Medley' (ambiguum x concinnum). Flowers (small, but born in abundance) are greenish-reddish-yellowish.

[shelagh]

Our R. impeditum threw up very few flowers this year, I was all for chucking it out but Brian has reprieved it.

[Corrado & Rina]

Same here. Normally should be covered. The very dry end of autumn and the last frost that killed some of the buds seem to have had some effects.

Best,

Flowering now, Rhododendron camtschaticum, Rhododendron yakushimanum 'Yaku Prince', Rhododendron yakushimanum 'Silver Sixpence', Rhododendron Loderi Group 'Pink Diamond', and Rhododendron 'Graziela'.
