Wells Medina Nursery Part Two: Rhododendrons

O.K. mostly Rhododendrons.  Forgot to include this in the previous post.  Daphne odora 'Leucanthe' is new to me.  Much as I love variegated foliage, something about the handsome dark green foliage of this new-to-me daphne was very attractive.  Of course, there are all of those incredibly fragrant flowers blooming now after my Daphne odoras have finished.  



Have you grown this one? 


Ulmus parvifolia 'Lois Hole' with fresh green spring foliage is a beauty but I need another dwarf tree in a pot like I need a hole in the head.

Okay, on to the Rhododendrons.  R. sinogrande is a foliage favorite of mine. Those large leaves look almost tropical to me.  A loquat for shade only with larger leaves.  Who cares if it blooms?


I may have messed up some of the names but here goes.  'Grace Seabrook'

'Surrey Heath'



'Nancy Evans x Furman's Yellow'

'Opal Luster'

Unknown Chevalier hybrid


'Deep Clover'

'Ann Cree'


Another variegated Rhododendron with gorgeous flowers. 



'Blatt Gold,' a new hybrid from Germany looks and sounds (from inteweb images and descriptions, the plant didn't initiate a conversation.)  a lot like 'Super Flimmer' to me.

It sure is  beautiful!

'Elise Watson'


'Goldflimmer'

Rhododendron stenopetalum 'Linearifolium' another foliage favorite and the fun spidery blooms are an added bonus!
Must visit the Rhododendron Garden Nursery again soon to see in bloom that special magenta hybrid that Diane named after her father!  (see post here.)
