    Hi Larburnum,
    Well done !! you have your picture up. Try following Nathan's instructions for the avatars in the general discussions, now you have loaded picture you should be able to get avatar on now, very similar procedure, but do make sure you scroll the whole avatars page down to bottom to do it. Good luck.
    Now you have your picture up it looks like it was a wonderful plant, but maybe the soil is exhausted??? Not really sure as I do not grow them, but I do know they can suffer with root problems in containers. Bayleaf might know now you have pic up, Sorry I can't help more.

    Thanks Marley Farley
    I am now sending a picture o [​IMG]f both Rhodo,s in pots
    I changed soil last year but put the left hand one in a bigger barrel. The right hand one had finished flowering when this was taken. Both are flourishing but one in front of conservatory is growing towards the light as picture shows, I wondered if I could cut it down at back, but frightened I kill it.

    [​IMG] Hi Larburnum,
    Lovely pic of our garden, very nice plants too. I see what you are saying about the one in front of the conservatory. In my bible it says that sometimes older plants can benifit from a prune, but it looks like it is also growing to the light, if that the problem them you would have to turn it weekly or something I would think. Have found this link have a look.
