My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

25' Rhododendron - plant IDs

11 years ago






We purchased a 1902 house a year ago that had been uninhabited for at least 15 years. Under the neglect and the invasives, we've found the remnants of some very nice gardening. The most impressive specimens are arguably our 25' rhododendrons that wind downhill on one side of the property. Now that they're blooming, I was hopeful of getting some IDs.

The first one to bloom has been identified as Mrs. G.W. Leak. Any ideas on the other three?

You could put what I know about rhododendrons in a thimble and still have room for your finger...
