Thanks, Maggi,    I was pleased with the Rhodo-Ledum, it won its class and also got a Preliminary Commendation from Joint Rock.

Wonderful diversipilosum Diane.

For you ledumphiles the work of Kristian Theqvist in Finland  may  be of interest. He has crossed them with some interesting rhododendron species.
