Re: Rhododendron Sinogrande
She’s a beauty Anne! Are the other smaller sinograndes doing ok? (I think you have several other smaller specimens).

Rhododendron sinogrande
Thanks, Tim. 3 or 4 of the 4 smaller ones are doing okay, but I think they need more sun exposure or ?? to encourage new growth. I have them in 2-1/2 quart pots. Keeping an eye on them.

Re: Rhododendron Sinogrande
David - sorry - I'm a little slow on the uptake this morning. 8-8-18 vs. another date such as 8-9-18 which would need clarification for some.

Re: Rhododendron Sinogrande
I can only imagine David was being English, i.e., sarcastic. I have dealt with data visualization and data warehousing for 20 years in my professional life. Date format differences can be a source of confusion. Various branches of the US government have different standards, and cannot even consistently apply those - I know from experience. Without one of the numbers being > 12, 8-8-18 leaves ambiguity as to whether it is M-D-Y (US) or D-M-Y (rest of world). As a true nerd, I am of course a fan of the ISO format. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_ ... ted_States

Rhododendron Sinogrande
Yes - I will be more aware of that in the future, and will write the name of the month instead of the number. This is a global group, and I need to think that way.

Re: Rhododendron Sinogrande
I wasn't being sarcastic. It was a silly numerical joke.
