@_timemit_ As a teenager I had a few in my mum’s garden that I had bought with pocket money or persuaded other people to buy or give me… and I used to bug my dad about visiting gardens with good collections. But since then my parents have moved, I live in a flat in a different country and nothing of my little collection is left, so I can simply admire other people’s rhododendrons - and of course Rh. tomentosum, which grows everywhere here…

@davidjamesweir I love the smell of Labrador tea, my plant gave up a few years back. It is the foliage/stem smells that attract me to many of the rhodies. I love the cinnabarinum group, the smell after rain is like a tropical jungle, all cinnamon, spice, citrus and cannabis.. yummy :)
