Looking back - making progress

 I have just been reading back in the blog about the rhododendrons I planted last year - I haven't managed to name them all yet - I seem to be missing a couple in Corduroy's paddock.  R. Virginia Richards is there in the back and flowered beautifully this season, so that leaves the possibility that it is R. Blue Peter under the ash tree.  Also there are probably Cotton Candy, FFP, Gwen Bell and Chevalier Felix de Sauvage.  Another late flowerer still to identify.  There have been deaths - R. Mother Bear died and a whole group of established ones also died - these were R. Bumble Bee, R. Van Dec and R. Bud Flanagan.  R. Aunt Martha and R. Nicholas (this one is nearest the neighbours @ 214 Main) weren't happy where they were, so have hopefully managed to save them by moving them to the top side of the cherry tree.  Maybe they were too wet.  R. Blue Boy is in a group with them, and while growing slowly, has flowered this year.
