Rhododendrons coming early this year. My Ciliatum flowered from the end of January and is still in flower thanks to no frosts! Snow lady opened up on the 28 February and hopefully will survive some slight frost. So far Edgeworthii has produced large buds and at this rate will open in about 3 weeks...if weather holds.
Amazing what you'll find when you look under the greenhouse bench! R. spinuliferum. Last year - its first flowering - the colour was wretched (pic 2) so I am quite chuffed.I wonder if I dare put its pollen on my cross of (mucronulatum 'Cheju' x spinuliferum Starling's black-red) or am I apt to lose hardiness, spin is very tender outdoors even in mild areas in the UK I hear.john
