Title: Sad News
Post by: johnw on August 03, 2009, 09:39:54 PM

I have just received the sad news that Mike Robinson, Chairman of the RHS Rhododendron, Camellia and Magnolia Group passed away suddenly yesterday from a stroke.  Needless to say it is a huge blow to the horticultural world, he was a keen plantsman man who did so much for us.

Kind of you to let us know, John.   Sad to hear of the loss of another respected plantsman.
