Rhododendron spinuliferum--Firecracker Rhododendron






Instead of having the large open flowers that I am used to seeing on Rhododendrons, this species, R. spinuliferum, has smaller tubular flowers. Prefers shade. In flower now at the UC Botanical Garden. But no hurry. The flowers are supposed to last for months!
