This is a tropical Rhododendron that blooms throughout the year. The heaviest bloom is usually in late fall and early winter. Very fragrant

Vireyas typically grow as an small to big epiphytic shrub in the mountains of the deep tropics (Malaysia, Indonesia). The flowers are so different from most common Rhododendron. Vireyas have a neon-looking (almost glowing) flower which are so very sweetly fragrant.
