                      Wow - you could make a fortune at a Boot Fair with pots of 3 of those per pot GA,
                      A shame though - they look voluptuous as they are,

                        We've had so much rain recently that it's ruined the blooms on lots of things :sad:

                        Here's some which are still looking okay ...

                        Rhododendron Rabatz

                        [​IMG]

                        Just wish I could capture the colours of the Rhododendrons properly, they look much better in the flesh.

                                Could I put my name down for some please? Perhaps you could "put some by" pending a reason to send me an envelop? Thanks.
