    This is a new plant we purchased in may with loads of buds on it,and appears very healthy,however,the flowers are only open on one half of the plant,the other half are large buds,

    A friend suggested we turn the plant round so that the flowers were at the back and the unopened buds were to the sun,we did this two weeks back but nothing seems to be happening?

    Mart, Rhodos are woodland plants, so they prefer dappled shade, not full sun.:thumb:
