Description
Rhododendron ___ macgregoriae "Golden Gate Beast" Large tropical evergreen shrubs or small trees (typically much smaller in cultivation) with ovate-lanceolate leaves in pseudowhorls. The abundantly produced tubular flowers with flaring lobes are quite variable in color. This is a selected form with extra-large flowers colored deep yellow on the tube with orange lobes strongly flushed with peach. I am assuming this is a macgregoriae hybrid based on the vigor and size of the flowers. Easily grown and extremely floriferous, this is one of the best vireyas for the beginner. A common species throughout New Guinea. ((+32R12) RSBG#2017/065 $29.00-B
