This Rhododendron is a variety called Blue Diamond and normally flowers in March/April. As you can see, it’s decided to flower now. I’m not exactly sure why. It may be due to the fact that I removed nearly all of the flowers this Spring to help the tree gain a little extra vigour. The flowers are a little sporadic but will add a nice splash of colour as I wait for the real Autumn colour to hit the benches.

I’ve always understood that many spring flowering plants flower as a response to day length, and it’s not uncommon for some of them to flower again in autumn. Those leaves look a lovely rich green so it’s obviously very healthy and going strong…

Interesting point Ray. Since posting this I’ve heard of 3 others as bonsai all flowering at the moment.
