Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Truly unique flowers for a rhododendron, these strongly resemble Tiger Lilies! They are pink with red spotting and a very deeply split calyx. Medium green foliage is held on stems that have a bronzy tone on this upright growing and quite well-branched plant. (parentage unknown)
