From Jens in Copenhagen this evening. Jens' own cross of (insigne x proteoides), now known as Birck's Dane. Grown by his biddy Svend-Aage Askjaer. Can this really be beat?

From Jens Birck's garden in Copenhagen yesterday.

1. Rhododendron augustinii right rear, R. roxienaum centre left

2. Rhododendron 'Top Banana' left rear & R. 'Biskra' right rear 

3.& 4 Rhododendron 'What A Dane' left & cinnabarinum Roylei Group right

'What A Dane' is Jens' magnificent cinnabarinum hybrid that even does well here in coastal Nova Scotia.

Rhododendron 'Gartendirector Glocker'.

I can't say I really like this one, but too expensive to chuck out.

Why would one grow R. orbiculare?  It certainly has wonderful round foliage, often, in the best forms, with a distinct blue cast.  But whio would have thought it could flower quite so heavily? Where else than at Jens Birck's in Copenhagen.

Rhododendron orbiculare @ Jens Birck's

johnw - a nasty sunny 27c, too much heat for me.

Two beauties from Jens' garden this morning.

Rhododendron 'Goldsprenkel' @ JCB

Rhododendron 'Nordic Smile' @ JCB

I'm drooling and smiling.

john - 28c yesterday, 10c today.  NYC was 97F yesterday, must be up in the very high 30'sC.

How many times can a jaw drop in Spring?  A very special time at Jens Birck's in Copenhagen today, it's Rhododendron campylogynum time again.

And the yellow campoylogynum may be the only plant on Planet Earth!
