More Rain-splashed Rhododendrons
Continuing with more photos from Chester gardens on a rainy day, here is a close-up of an Azalea “Chelsea Reach”, which has a captivating perfume, even on a damp day.
The gardener whose rhodos are shown in the photo above apologized for not remembering the name of this particularly fragrant variety, and noted that they were bought years ago from the late Captain Dick Steele, who was known in Canada as the Rhododendron King.
The unidentified azaleas above and below were purchased through the Garden Club and from other local groups as part of fund-raising programs years ago.
