WOW -  In the 19 years that I have been running this nursery, we have never had rhododendrons like we have right now.  With many trips to Oregon under my belt, it just never ever happened. We would locate them, and growers would promise them, but we would never actually get them. This year we did it !  The most incredible (to me, anyway) is our Rhododendrom macabeanum batch.  The foliage is enormous , you’ll notice it in the photo . These spectacular plants do  get big, but it is fairly slow. So, don’t panic about eventual size…. we’ll all be gone by then.  Visit UBC and Van Dusen and you’ll marvel at these tree-like rhodos…. the foliage is fabulous and so are the enormous flower clusters.  R. macabeanum flowers are soft yellow, with a purple blotch.  We also have R. sinogrande in stock.  This fabulous species has huge foliage and giant flower clusters of pale cream, each blossom stained with a crimson blotch. 
             R. augustinii is here, for the third time only, in almost 20 years. This species is available in three named forms (‘Electra’,'Tower Court’ and ‘Blue Cloud’) . R. augustinii is a scene stealer . An upward growing, twiggy shrub with blue to mauve flowers in airy clusters. If you ever walk towards the very back of Van Dusen Gardens in Vancouver in May,  you will be stunned by the grove they have of this beauty.  
       R. calophytum is here.  A giant amongst rhodos, with giant clusters of white (or pink) flowers, each with a blotch of dark pigment in the throat of every flower.  I have to have a few for myself…. I just saw these in bloom at Van Dusen (on March 15th, 2010) and was completely reborn right infront of them !  I am not kidding.

R.campylogynum
R.concatenans
R. forrestii
