Caroline Allbrook in spite of rains.

11 comments


Three frozen men brought expected brake from sunny and warm weather. It rained today, but my new rhodie blooms vigorously.


I do not know who was Caroline Allbrook, but I would like to know. As it is not usual to give human names to plants.


So, hope, you liked it too.

It's absolutely beautiful Katarina! I've no idea who she was/is, but actually there are many plants named after people these days...it's very common over here in the UK for new plants to be named after friends, spouses, family members and horticulturists. Sadly, nobody has yet named anything after me! :))
