The weird stories were fun. I love these evergreens and have some in my garden, I should need a park to have more. The Rhododendron yakushimanum is a special one I have seen in our Arboretum Trompenburg in Rotterdam. Beautiful picture with the butterfly on it.Janneke https://www.blogger.com/profile/11056916431881916066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571100417242238211.post-60750594320854300272013-10-08T10:07:57.495+01:002013-10-08T10:07:57.495+01:00When I was a kid in Barnsley my parents used to dr...When I was a kid in Barnsley my parents used to drag me unwillingly round Woolly Hall on country walks. I love the displays of rhododendrons now! And of course Temple Newsam is a classic rhodo garden.

Also Temple Newsam in Leeds has a lovely display each spring. The colours are beautiful.<br /><br />I think the bit about it being unlucky to bring shrubs into the house was maybe a general belief as I was told the same about lilac when I wanted to take a bunch to school.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.com
