Rhododendron luteum..

Luteum is my favourite Rhodo, love the scent and the airiness of its structure.

A scented rhododendron...sounds good, smells good.

Its gorgeous. i bought one too. I have this one and the white one beside the pond. They should be out soon..lots of buds! :)

Lovely Azalia. The flowers have lasted well this year.

Thanks for all your lovely comments, I have to say I am pleased with this purchase, especially the perfume.

Dd, is it showing beautiful red leaves at the moment. I've just been looking at them on another site.

No Dawn....we are so late here with our Autumnal foliage, the Boston Ivy has just turned......

Strange isn't it, all to look forward to

I do hope so Dawn....have just lost two large Rhododendron, just too dry for them, once they dry out, there is no way to revive them, so disappointed, blooming expensive ones too!!

What a shame. It's always the expensive ones. Its even dry here at the moment, watering is just not the same as rain and of course the acid lovers need rain not tap water, ive given up on the acid lovers a bit, just don't have the time to give them what they need.

Just looked at this plant, and I dont think this is going to survive either, will give up growing these in future.....

Oh dear, sad isnt it but if they're not happy in our conditions its not worth it. I have a Camellia covered in buds at the moment and I know they wont come to fruition. I might try and protect but that will need protection for 6 months.
