It’s still peak rhody time and the Rhododendron fortunei are looking particularly good right now. The hydrangeas will start coming out soon, cardiocrinums will be blooming in the coming weeks along with some of the late flowering rhodys (Polar Bear). There are a few meconopsis getting ready to flower. The birch trail and Christmas pond are both at their spring peak.
