Agree with the others, an absolute wonderful collection of rhododendrons, Klahanie!!
They are all beautiful in bloom. I’m with Julia, Blue Boy is a real eye catching gorgeous one.
The view is just perfect, idyllic and inspiring.

I am so envious.
I have a very chalky soil and cant grow them. I will not waste money on trying to modify the soil.

Thank you Julia for your kind comment.

Sbg, I know what you talk about. There are so many plants I cannot grow because of our acidic clay soil or heavy rains in the winter and many other reasons. So I am also envious about some plants you girls grow. We do have to adjust don't we ?.
