Supposedly, the only New England state that this plant grows in is Massachusetts. But
Rhododendrons can be planted anywhere. This was found in a clump of bushes, very close
to a business. Pink flowers, no scales on the leaves (see closeup image) and large
leaves (10-20 cm long) led me to two possible Rhododendron choices. Short sepals
(0.5 - 1.7 mm long) and wider leaves (1.5 - 2.5 times as long as wide) helped me
decide that this was Catawba Rosebay. |
