Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Broadly funnel-shaped flowers of a strong blue red with dark red spots on three loves. Leaves have a light tan indumentum. It would have to be a very special Rhododendron to be named after a very special man to his friends both in and out of the Rhododendron community. (griersonianum x 'Pygmalion')
