Hi

We inherited a plant from the previous owners of the house and it
was in
a large container. It flowered last year with large orange flowers but
we have no idea what it is.

We have a plot of soil by a fence we were thinking of putting it in
but
need to know if it minds only having sun up until avout noon.

Can anyone ID it from the attached photo?

Thanks

Hmmm attaching that image didn't work. Here it is:

sigh

OK that link died, this one is allegedly up for one day:

Almost impossible to tell just from that particular picture. When it
flowers, post another picture. Hazarding a guess I'd say a
rhododendron, with a flower bud beginning to swell.

+1 on rhodo, as there aren't too many shrubs with large orange flowers,
although that looks more like a leaf than flower bud. I think there is
the beginning of chlorosis on the leaves, adding to the evidence for a
rhodo.


It's probably been in the same clump of soil for years. Now I know what
it likely is, I'll get some fresh ericaceous soil and a roomy container
for it.

Thanks
