Agree with the others, an absolute wonderful collection of rhododendrons, Klahanie!!
They are all beautiful in bloom. I’m with Julia, Blue Boy is a real eye catching gorgeous one.
The view is just perfect, idyllic and inspiring.

I may be making a blog - it's been an awful long time since I did one last! My son is taking me to the Cambridge Botanical gardens soon. Must be 15 years since I was last there! After the visits there I made up a series of blogs on te gardens - does anyone remember still?

My son has bought me an entrance to the Cambridge Botanical gardens & plans on taking me, perhaps on the last day of this month! We hadn't settled for an exact date yet.
On blog - Visit to RHS Wisley
Wow! What a lovely place to stop and take a breather.

The Baby Blue has the really strong aroma Kate, and it is easy to control by pruning. The France Bleu, I am hoping will reach at least 3m and give me some cover on that side.

Kate I am in.now to remember how it all works
On blog - A few flowery things
It’s a very generous little plant Kate and here in the south it can flower almost all year round if the winter is mild. But sadly mine stopped in October and got going again about 2 weeks ago. I will have to start removing some before long!

My goodness, you have a lot Klahanie and not a dud amongst them. Some real beauties.

That has beautiful flowers Andrew. Perseverance paid off.

I sprayed my home made garlic spray on mine and my tree lilies and hostas. It's supposed to mask the lily smell from lily beetles which I found on my tree lilies a few weeks ago. Someone also said it deters slugs, hence the hostas being sprayed. So far so good.

What a bonanza of Rhodis Klahanie...they are beautiful...do you have to feed any yearly?Blue Boy would be a favourite....and that resting place I would never like to leave!!

Klahanie this one started off in a pot but I found I didn't keep up with the watering...decided to try it in the border.It just took off!

Thank you so much both...Amazingly in the Choysia behind the Eegret there's a family of blackbirds...the father flies in and out frequently even landing on it!.

3 petalled purple flower ? Maybe a Tradescantia, commonly known as spiderwort?
On question - Name this flower from description
I just bought this tree last year Julia. I found it interesting. We have a few in the neighbourhood. I will never see it at this size. Mine is still in the pot.

We walk down the road, and there is a reservoir, and sometimes the Egrets are on it. The Heron is down there as well.
