  3. That's a lovely bloom color!

    The first photos are large enough to see the details. I use a MacBook Air with an 11" screen, so I have to scroll to view the larger photos.

  4. Wow what a beautiful color! I love that sweet spot between orange, pink, and yellow. The really big pics take a long time to load for me (guess I have a slow connection!) but I'm willing to wait...

  9. I'm not a great lover of rhododendrons (I think I was dragged round to many country estates as a child) but "Honey Butter" has a lovely combination of colours within each flower and looks great in your garden, Tatyana. Are you going to keep it in the pot?

  10. Tatiana, I also bought a new rhododendron "Mandarin light"! It only has a different color, and didn't yet bloom. Your rhododendron "Honey Butter" is very beautiful!

  13. I visit your blog because of your beautiful photos and for the fact that they are shown big. There is nothing worse than photos of a beautiful gardens that are postage stamp size. Go big!

  16. I love those colors. I have one similar except that as the blossoms age they lose all their pink. Yours is much nicer. I love the pictures in either size but bigger is always better. LOL

  17. The color is just exquisite ~ I understand why it came home with you!! I love large photos even tho I reduce the size of mine so they don't get reused without my permission.

  18. The rhodo is beautiful - a gorgeous colour. Your house and garden are beautiful too. Enjoy the sunshine
    Best wishes

    Hi Tatyana, I'm just getting caught up with your blog, and I want to vote for smaller image sizes. I'm discouraged from reading your blog when it takes an hour or more for my computer to load the large photo files, and I also can't fit the whole photo on my laptop screen at once. Maybe a compromise would be to use smaller images on the blog but have the option for people to click on them to get to the larger version. I do love the rhododendron! -Jean

    Thanks Tatyana, great pictures. I don't carry a lot of rhodies here at the nursery but honey butter is a winner. Besides having a great flower the foliage is really pretty as well.
    I like the bigger pictures. I like to see all the little details in the gardens and flowers. Wonderful garden as well.

    Hope to see you again and I will be ordering more Honey Butter. You know I ordered it because my dog is named butter. Had to be a great plant with a name like honey butter.
