RHODODENDRON 'Mist Maiden' |
||||
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: David Leach Parentage: (yakushimanum x ?) Description: Leach was convinced this selection was pure yakushimanum, although not everyone agreed. It was grown from (open pollinated?) seed he acquired from England. 'Mist Maiden' is a more vigorous growing yak with a larger than normal truss, and somewhat wider open flowers. The flowers present the typical yak apple blossom effect, starting out as pink and fading to white. The foliage is dark green with thick tawny indumentum. It is an earlier bloomer than other yaks and seems to be more tolerant of adverse conditions. It screams yak x smirnowii to me. | ||||
