nothing humble about rhodadendrons imo - they are a splendid flower, and respond well to a green finger...
here's a picture of some for you to discuss.

in fact, if enough members join in we could have a mass debate over the them.

welcome Andre5030..............I presume with that name you must be related to Andre3000 from OutKast!!
what with this new discussions group on flowers............(do we need to add a new section for Benny and his hedgrows?), so I guess a bit of Hip-hop would not be a surprise.
Anyway, dont get the wrong idea, I am all in favor of flower arranging, but best leave it the Womens Institute, its what their good at..........only serious bike talk on this forum.
Now where did I leave those pruning shears?

Ah, the Rhododendron-
According to Wiki, "honey resulting from these plants have a slightly hallucinogenic and laxative effect".
According to my mother-in law, "A weed is only a Rhododendron growing in the wrong place, which isn't a Rhododendron". She then had to rush off.
Mind you, she's been at the Rhododendron honey again.
Oh, Hi, BTW.
