    Guys,
    I have taken photo today of some bushes at work that have bloomed really nice this past month.

    Can anyone identify them. I think they look really nice and would like to buy some for my front garden.

    Thanks in advance

    Michael

    Could be a Camelia

      My guess would be Rhododendron.

        Rhododendron definitely. The flower shape is all wrong for a Camellia.

          So you'll be needing acid, sandy-ish soil, Michael!

          But the trouble is, which rhododendron? There are loads of varieties! I can't tell the height from the picture. If the young foliage is furry, it would suggest a yakushimanum hybrid. The shape of flowers and colour change on maturity suggests they might be.
