Planted My Home Grown Rhododendron today :)

So I'm not the only one with green fingers Jacque, well done, lovely to see it in flower in the spring. :0)))

its done really well jacque and looks like a bud to me to ;o))

Wow. That's great Jacque :-))))))

Looking good, Jac. Well done :o)

Thanx every 1 im so excited as i think its Flower Buds 2 San/Stripes :)

Do we know which variety it is Jacque ?

You've done well there Jacque. Hope it flowers for you next year

Well done Jacque, I always think they mean more to you if from your own cuttings, keep us posted on its progress........

Great Jacque, and please keep us posted with the progress next season.

What a beautiful young plant...and looks healthy. :) Hope you'll see flowers next Spring.

I believe that may be still new growth Jacque..but then maybe not...mine have tiny little budlets at the top of each crown...but I am not sure if they are buds or new leaves...mine flower in May...we should know for sure by then! You did a super job...good for you...mine are still young but I sure did not grow them myself!

Well done Jacque....lovely little shrublet...hope it flowers for you in the Spring....

Great stuff Jacque, are your fingers turning green, lol x x

Congratulations, Jacque, you must feel a very proud 'mother' to your little cutting :)

Thats what you call success Jacque. You must be feeling really pleased with that. It will be a bonus if it flowers next year, but you never know. Congratulations.

its coming along well......... hope you get some flowers next year

It certainly looks like a bud to me good luck with it next year....

Well done Jacque.Rhododendrons are known to be quite difficult to grow from cuttings ! x

Ooh you've done well there Jacque.......lets hope there'll be flowers soon....it really looks very healthy!

Well done, Jac! Great result. I agree with Cat - I think that may be new growth, so you may have to wait a while for flowers, still. Never mind - it's so healthy! :-))) I hope I'm wrong.

Thanx Every1 for all your great Comments ,Sadly i dont know the Variety BlueS but i do know its a Dark Pink :)I cant beleive iv done so well with it Andrew as i did take 4 cuttings & other 3 didnt make it :( Of cos il keep u posted on its Progress G&A/LinC & even if its not Flowers Buds & is more new growth like Cat/Spritz say im happy with that 2 :)

Good - I think it might be a sign of a very happy and healthy little shrub - it will flower when it's big and srong enough! I just didn't want you to be disappointed, Jac. :-)))

Its going to Flower 1 day isnt it Spritz :D

Definitely! :-)) I'm full of admiration for your green fingers! It's jusr a case of patience, Jac.

AAAAaawwwww thanx Spritz :) i didnt have any Patience as a child but Gardening does certanly teach it :)

Jacque - for future reference, layering rhodos often has a better success rate than cuttings but you need to allow a couple of years for the layer to root before cutting it away from the mother plant

This was a Layered Cutting Andrew? It had very Fine Roots when i took it off My Friends Rhody!! It was resting on the Soil Beneth the Parent Plant :)
