How exciting, I love the anticipation of a new flower coming to bloom. The weather has been up and down this spring, it stayed so cold for so long. We had a spike of hot about 10 days ago and then it mellowed out. We have been getting some rain but nothing major. I always find that this is the teasing time of year. You feel that finally the warm weather is here and then the mercury drops again. Fortunately, we had a fairly nice long weekend this past weekend.

The label on my orphan said...Rhododendron..Pink English it's buds look very dark pink, guess the colour will be obvious when it opens fully...I was so excited when I saw the buds swelling that I ran for my camera!! not a lot to see...but I wanted to have pics of the whole process of it's blooming...lol. Will post when it emerges fully...our weather has been cold, damp and dark... but hardly enough rain the moisten the topsoil. Is it getting sunny out there yet?

Do you know what type of rhododendron it is? The above is an Azalea - picture is not very clear though I have just realised, I will try giving a better one. Are you getting plenty of water to it, when did you plant it - has it gone into shock and just needs time to re-adjust?

the colour of those flowers is just amazing...I'm always partial to anything that appears incandescent...My rhodo has buds but I'm afraid it isn't very healthy... will have to post a pic of the leaves...they are brown and curling. It was a rescue from a 'bargain bin"at the local Home Depot. I tried dosing it with Epsom Salts...( Magnesium sulphate) and the green has improved but the browned leaves remain.

Thanks again, It is by a three story condo on the north side. Which means no sun because of the building but sometimes in the morning the sun raise will hit it on and off. I have decided to leave it and see what happens.

I might offer another suggestion if you are planning to move it anyways. I live in zone 5 (and that's pushing it for Rhodos) and we have heavy snow and cold winters with lots of north winds. Rhodos don't like wind at any time of year and I finally moved mine under the large house overhang which provides both semi-shade and protection from the winds. After struggling for many winters with various types of winter protection coverings/surrounds and finding too many brown, shriveled leaves in the spring, I was frustrated last year by the sudden onset of winter and not enough opportunity to protect everything that I just left it uncovered which turned out perfect as it fared better than any other year. It needs a good shot of "Pinks" (8-12-6) fertilizer in the spring before flowering, and again in August in order to produce buds for the following spring. I have been fooled by buds which I believed were flowers-to-be but were simply new leaf growth next spring because I didn't fertilize twice. Hope this helps. LP

Further to your question about azaleas which Sid answered the same applies.You watch the Masters Golf from Augusta Georgia? There you will see the ideal situation for rhododendrons and azaleas spectacular display under the canopy of other trees.If you have heavy shade with no sunlight these plants will struggle to flower.Part shade should suit them as long as sun not first thing if sun later in day then fine.

I don't know the variety I am sorry. I just took a look to see if it had a tag attached and alas, no. The prior owners of our house planted about 100 rhodies on the property (lucky us) over the 30 years they lived here. Most aren't labled and those that are are not usually legible. I am trying to catch up on the names in my garden but I haven't managed to learn everything yet!
