« Last post by SteveH on Yesterday at 10:01:39 am »THIS beautiful Rhododendron ?Penjerrick? is coming into flower along the recently restored Penjerrick Walk at Bodnant Garden.
The floral showstopper, at the National Trust historic garden and arboretum in the Conwy Valley, has large scented white, cream or pink flowers and a characteristic red-pink bark.
A spokesperson from Bodnant Garden told the Pioneer: "Rhododendron ?Penjerrick? was bred at Penjerrick Garden in Cornwall in 1923, a hybrid of R. campylocarpum Elatum Group and R. griffithianum. Henry McLaren described R. ?Penjerrick? as ?the most lovely of all rhododendrons? and planted a grove of them along a path on Furnace Hill.
