Bright spots in my garden
On a gloomy day, they glow: Unlabeled vireya, most likely Rhododendron laetum x javanicum. It flowers reliably in late winter and intermittently at other times of the year. 🌱 🌴

Rhododendron praetervisum x ‘Doctor Hermann Sleumer’. Easier to grow and flower than R. praetervisum itself.
Hermann Sleumer was a botanist who named hundreds of new vireya species in the 1950s and 1960s, helping to usher in the second great era of vireya hybridization (the first was Victorian). 🌴🌱

Winter flowers #7 - Vireya rhododendron 'Golden Charm' - subtropical rhododendrons which can flower intermittently any time because flowering is triggered by day length, not temperature.

First bloom of Rhododendron ‘Pennywhistle’ that I purchased last February. This miniature vireya is a primary hybrid, R. macgregoriae (New Guinea) crossed with R. bagobonum (Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines). 🌴 🌱

Rhododendron ‘Pennywhistle’ flowering again, right on schedule. R. bagobonum seems to be very dominant in vireya hybrids, consistently producing small orange flowers with very heavy substance. 🌱 🌴

The trumpet-shaped blossoms are set against a clear, light blue sky, with sunlight illuminating their delicate structure and dark stamens.

Meet this beauty at almost 2000 m asl in the top of volcano in Sumatra! I'm amazed by this Tropical Rhodendron section, Vireya. I have seen White, Orange, Super Red, and Super Yellow in the same location.

Rhododendron ‘Aravir’.
Another vireya, this one is R. konori x (Pink Delight x jasminiflorum). Fragrance seems to be strongest at night, suggesting the parent species are moth-pollinated. 🌴 🌱

Rhododendron 'Birat Red' is a somewhat mysterious vireya collected more than 50 years ago in a remote region of Papua New Guinea by an Anglican missionary with a botany degree from Cambridge. No one seems to know if it is a natural hybrid or undescribed species. 🌱 🌴

Rhododendron jasminiflorum subsp. jasminiflorum. Cultivated plant in my greenhouse, c. 2005. Native habitat is peninsular Malaysia. This was the first vireya species to flower in cultivation (England, 1849). 🌱🌴
