Robin, that is the terrific thing about Rhodos, they come in such a variety of shapes and sizes, with leaves in different colours, new leaves quite differently coloured etc, that therey make for a great structure to the garden all the year. They are my favourite plants!
I have attempted to remember the names of the ones in the picture... I have listed them in the Rhodo thread :

Really beautiful Maggi, a treat to see so many at once. John's shortia is pretty good too.

Raffle Surprise
I am a newish member of the Aberdeen Rock Garden Club. At our monthly meetings where we have had some excellent talks, it is custom to have a fundraising raffle. A few months ago I won a prize and selected a little black pot with the remains of a dead plant in it. (All the other pots had what I thought were dead things in them). When I got home I deciphered the label and discovered I had an Aquilegia Saximontana. AHA - I know what that is - its a sort of columbine which would explain its dormant state. I then googled the name and found out a bit more information. I placed the pot on a sheltered position - my back doorstep and lo and behold a few small leaves started to appear in early Spring. It then suffered from a severe aphid attack but today as you can see in the photo, I have a delightful little flower. Unfortunately I don't think it will last until the SRGC Rock Garden Plant Show in Aberdeen. (Ruthrieston West Church Halls, Broomhill Road, Aberdeen AB10 7LU on Saturday 16th May from 11.30am to 4.00pm).

Wolfgang, how do you do it?
?? I gasped in admiration when I came to your postings of gentiana just now, they are simply amazing with such a range of colour - I have never heard of an apricot gentian before, where does it come from?

Hans,
I like the rodgersia, great amount of foliage so early in the year. Mine are just coming, some only just poking above ground.
