If you like rhododendrons and azaleas read on(if not forget it)

Wow....I could get lost in your little jungle.

Jamie would guide you around

You wouldn't see us for days.....or until we got hungry. ;o)

Loved it Brian. What colour!

Beautiful, beautiful, so many brilliant colours.

Such a palette of colours in your garden ... absolutely beautiful. : o )

Really enjoyed seeing all those stunning colours and the glimpse of your little companion......

wowwee,would love to grow these but not sure what soil they need and conditions,LOVE the white one what a beaut looks like an orchide

Lovely! What a collection!

Stunning collection you have Brian and colours galore

Who's got acid soil??? Not fair, Brian. I can't grow those beauties! At least you've let me enjoy yours...thank you. They must be a real joy to you at this time of year. :-))

They are B. If it weren't for my rhodies the garden would me almost all green at this time of year! I don't expect Brian has quite that problem being even further south than you, but wow, what colour! I love that white azalea near the top but after that I couldn't pick any favourites...they are all heavenly!

they are not difficult to grow in a container providing you use Ericaceous Compost readily available in garden Centres and make sure they dont dry out.if you do decide to try one send me a PM and will give you a few more tips.

OMG, stunning photos, but please names. Love the brilliant reds & deep oranges. Give us some names, come on!!!

Oh how wonderful are all those, I lost a couple in the last couple of weeks despite watering them regularly

Adoons
The very last one, deep red is 'Elizabeth'
The deep orange is 'Glowing Embers' some are over 30 years old and as such I can not find the labels on about half of them.they are not so much lost as buried.

Brum. they tend not to tell you they are in trouble until its to late ,because the leaves don't collapse as they do with a much softer leaf.
i have lost two established Camellias to a very late frost we had and that did not show until the leaves started to brown several weeks later.

stunning pics Brian, love your garden ;o)

Thx. I will go hunting 4 them, so beautiful. I love blogs where gardeners put together a king of series, eg Rhodo & Azaleas like u did. I put one together of Hostas last year, we learn so much from one another.
I had Elizabeth, but it died, I think it got too wet feet, can that be.

Thanks for sharing those pics ....your plants are absolutely stunning.

they are so beautiful, wish that I lived close, you might be wondering where they are all disappearing too LOL

What a joy your garden is, so beautifull well done, julien.

That sounds promising Homebird, I will HAVE to get a bigger garden when they are readily available.
Brian, again, stunning, I love the deep rose pink and of course the luteum, with a perfume thats out of this world, pity mine is so leggy, but I wouldnt be without it.

I'm jealous i thought mine were beautiful but i think yours are more so

What lovely colours! It must be hard to be in a bad mood when you are surrounded by such heartwarming plants! It really can be the simple things in life that make you happiest.
