Just arrived in Taiwan, plant hunting portion is finished and have said goodby to most of my compatriots. Now cleaning and sorting and preparing for inspection. In a small room in Taoyuan which is a long story in itself.
A hugely successful trip if we can manage to get everything home. At least four new species of Rhododendron to cultivation which is a lifetime’s achievement in most books. Finally found R. dachengense, the disjunct Taliensia from S China. Very strange thing and a bit of a mystery. Also new Daphniphyllum, Styrax, Michelia, Rehderodendron, etc.
