Here is the ULTIMATE collector's rhododendron!!! This is a mating of two of the MOST EXCLUSIVE rhododendrons any one can own. R. proteoides and R. pronum are considered the finest and most outstanding and unusual foliage rhododendrons possible. This new hybrid combines the best of both species, while giving them more hybrid vigor. However, it is going to stay a very small plant through out its life. The flowers will be pink in bud opening to white as are its parents. Here is the finest foliage made even better! A plant originating with the Thompson's in Waldport, Oregon. The name we are using for this plant, is unofficial code name, in the future we will come up with a better name. (proteoides x pronum)
