My R. moupinense is showing color and should be in full bloom by the time of the February meeting.  I looked through the web to find upcoming events that members might be interested in:

·          At the NW Flower and Garden show (besides being a fun place to go) on Thursday 2/5 at 5:15 Steve Hootman will be presenting a lecture on “Rhododendron Species and Hybrids, Recommendations for your garden”.  There are many other exciting lectures, for more information see www.gardenshow.org

·          The Meerkerk Gardens Spring Plant Sale will be March 19th and 20th.  Both rhododendrons and companion plants will be sold.

·          The Spring Plant Sale at the Rhododendron Species Foundation will be April 2nd and 3rd . Both rhododendrons and companion plants will be sold.

·          The Seattle Rhododendron Society will be presenting their Annual Early Show on April 16th—18th at Well’s Medina Nursery.  There is also a plant sale there to support the SRS.

It’s getting to be that time of year…..
