It's raining! My Vireya rhododendrons will be loving a good deep drink. I grew Vireyas in my previous garden and they did well and as we are in the same area still, they were an obvious choice to plant in this garden too. One small variety (Saxon Blush ) my son gave me travelled here in its terracotta pot and is still flowering of and on under one of the cherry trees. ( it has to be 15 years old ).
Most others are at the front road entrance in partial shade under 2 large Magnolia trees. here are some current photos.
Red Mountain
Popcorn
Tickety Boo
Dawn Chorus its near the front door on the shady side of the house.
I get 2 or 3 flowerings per year out of them.
It has very shiny healthy green leaves.
Around the side of the house I have a lovely yellow one Scented Sun but its not flowering at the moment. Another white Aravir is scented too.
I get 2 or 3 flowerings per year out of them.
They pick quite well and that's a good way to give them a light prune. I try to chose the more compact medium sized ones. I have 16 altogether I think.
