Do You Recognize This Rhododendron??
This photo shows leaves & flowers life size:
http://www.paghat.com/images/rhodywhite_mar.jpg Here are some specifics that may help someone identify which kind of white rhody this might be: 1) Trumpets are singles, a bit more than one-inch each, in small trusses of two or four trumpets 2) Early flowering (late March & early April) 3) Small elongated evergreen leaves 4) Shrub has upright habit, open, semi-dwarf (it's four feet tall, but is probably no less than 15 years old) 5) Doesn't show very well in this photo, but the very tippy-tip of each anther is magenta-pink. 6) Fluffy buds are greenish white but open pure white & just slightly wrinkly. All the rhodies taken from the old garden where I got this one have been fairly common varieties, nothing obscure, so this one's probably common as well. Any ideas which it might be? -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher. "Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature. -from Peter Newell's "Wild Flowers" See the Garden of Paghat the Ratgirl: http://www.paghat.com/ |
