I work in a famous rhododendron Wow! Do you have a chair or just perch somewhere? and we never do it there (too many, too big). But I do deadhead them in my own garden (anything within hand reach), especially if the flowers are the kind that hang on like dead rags; it makes the plant look neater, and saves it wasting energy making seed. Just behind each flower head, there are usually two tiny incipient buds which will develop for the following year. They are very small so be careful not to knock them off or damage them. Janet. |

The message
from Jupiter contains these words: On Sat, 6 May 2006 18:01:23 +0100, Janet Baraclough wrote: I work in a famous rhododendron Wow! Do you have a chair or just perch somewhere? Gimme a break, us hermits don't have furniture or any kind of creature comforts. Our calling wouldn't be real work then, would it? No charitable benefactors would visit us in our lonely forest abodes to watch us lounging around on Ikea and scoffing takeaways while listening to an Ipod. Janet. |
