ID please on this Tsutsui in a species garden at the back of the #dandenongrangesbotanicgarden planted in the 1970’s by the #australianrhododendronsociety. There is only one plant in the gardens and tags are gone. ARSV database trawling hasn’t offered much…Split corolla ???? #rhododendroncamelliamagnolia #olinda #victoria

Thought this was #rhododendron wallichii with smooth leaves and rusty indumentum but nor sure now with new growth! So different from the mature leaves. Will go back through photos to see if it flowered. Might be a hybrid #arsmembersgardens #kallista #dandenongranges #melbourne #victoria

Two bouts of strong winds on Friday and more natives bite the dust!!! Yet another large acacia melanoxylon limb crashed down on our hillside squashing a few rhododendrons!! Another day spent chainsawing and hauling… seems that is our major recreational activity over the last 6 months!!! Not planting anymore natives just too disappointing!!! The birds will have to feed off exotics!!! Yes, i know leucospermum are not native to Australia but they sit well with our native gardens.
