Such serious color envy! Yes I see blue on golden gate. Love Alec G Holmes. Such a pretty pastel. Just when I think you’ve shown me my “favorite” you show another and I get a new “favorite” 😂 Your wide angle shots are just gorgeous.

I can’t wait until I can get down to a few nurseries to buy some of these plus a couple azaleas I like also. They look awesome all mingled together like how you’ve done it. It looks so nice, I can imagine sitting amongst them while drinking my morning or evening coffee or both. Great video!! Well done Mike. 👌👍👏🥰🌟🇦🇺

Only wish I could grow all these Rhododendrons in my Zone 3 location in Canada! Gorgeous gardens. Thanks for the tour!

Mike, I'm a man and I prefer the red rhododendrons over the pastel ones. Your wife has good taste. The reds tend to be more stunning in my opinion. I do like them all nevertheless. I really like Red Gold and Fire Rim. Honestly, I did not see any blue in the Golden Gate rhododendron. It was red and pink. Blue is a cool color and that cultivar had warm blooms. Since I no longer live in the PNW, I can't really grow rhododendrons. They don't do so well here in Texas. Fortunately, I can grow roses, crape myrtles, and gardenias. You certainly do have a lovely garden, Mike!

oh jah! i love when they all grow together into a hedge. also, the decaying logs in the beds really enhance the color pop. oh jah bless!

Enjoyed the tour. Midnight mystique is so cool in bloom. That dark edge with the white, wow. Most of the dark ones I can take or leave in Rhodies. Probably because it's such a common color and we see it everywhere. My favorites are the warmer colors and the blue colors.

LMAO I really liked that one with the massive blind blooms that were swelling getting ready to open. Yes I also liked the light purple one that you asked us to tell you if we liked it or not.

I can’t wait for our rhodie to start blooming. Yours are beautiful! You kept saying something about lacewings which I always thought were beneficial insects so I looked it up. Here’s what I found: Lacewings are beneficial, predatory bugs that feed on lace bugs, aphids and other herbivorous insects. Lace bugs, however, are foliage feeders capable of causing extensive damage. Rhododendron-feeding lace bugs belongs to the family Tingidae in the order of true bugs called Hemiptera.

I’m a WA state native. I think Rhododendron’s are only pretty while in bloom, (about 1-2 weeks out of the year), the rest of the year they are Fugly. I bought a house one time that had Rhododendrons everywhere, so I pulled them out.

So beautiful I can only imagine what it's like in person. Any recommendations on a variety for Houston TX?

Beautiful. I need to learn how to propagate. No one here has rhododendrons just azesleas.

Hey Mike! Ever hear of "Rubicon"? thinking of grabbing a hardy red variety for zone 7. Not many hardy red around where i am. Seen a Taurus but wasn't sure. Cause of you man I've collected over 10 different varieties around the garden. Tryna stick more in places xD Your an inspiration man! Keep up all the great work. Would love to come out for a tour!

I got some itoh peonies about 3 years ago. They never bloomed. I've been told that I probably have planted them too deep. My question is can I dig them up and replant them more shallow could they bloom then. Love your videos . Thank you. Sandra Zone 4A Idaho

Cool stuff. The logs half buries by mulch make it look more natural. Do you plant Impatients in with the rhododendrons? They like shade and the same soil. The water chestnuts came yesterday and those are planted. One bed of tepary beans had to be soaked. Strange, because they're native, but it was 97 here and the wind burned the leaves. We have had some bad wind storms thanks to wild fires last year. Kumquat is ready to bloom again. Tangerine has a nice bunch of fruit on it. Chilacayote squash is climbing the fence and calabacita are getting ready to sprawl all over. Getting some fresh chilis from the garden but with the heat turned up, donno if any more will come on for a while. The Mexican chia is up and when that blooms, it's like blue clouds. hastas nieto!
