I rather think he will read your comments and be pleased, Luc!
 He has some very fine plants indeed... and they are well-grown too, though he hasn't many rhododendrons  :P ::)

Well you can't have it all Maggi - at least there's quite some Rhodo's around on the Forum from other sources and very (too) little Dio's... :P

Good taste, Helen!
These cushion plants in the primula family row tend to grow mostly in cliffs in Iran, Afghanistan and the likes..... they can be more than a little difficult in cultivation but, as you can see, when grown well they are a real joy.  Out of flower most make very attractive little buns of foliage and then when really happy and full of health, they cover themselves with these lovely flowers.
