Little cracker

What a cold and miserable morning - we had a rhododendron group in from Sweden and after the guided tour I could barely move I was so chilly. Rained all the time too! Fortunately only 10 of the 38 opted for a tour - the rest went back to the hotel earlier, I think. If only they'd come yesterday . . . . . . . . . . !

This is Rhododendron primuliflorum, my only first in the show yesterday. It's a lovely tidy small-leaved shrub, a metre or so in height, covered with flowers today.
