This is a hybrid ('Irian Jaya' x praetervisum) that features clusters of pendant and long tubular rose-purple flowers.
Our first offering of this rarely cultivated vireya (tropical) rhododendron. This distinct species features short and pointy, very glossy foliage, looking superficially like a short-needled conifer. The flowers are reddish (with a bit of orange), softly hairy, and pendant. This species is native to the mountains of Sumatra and was not introduced into cultivation until 1998. A choice addition to any vireya collection.
This is a very rare species in cultivation. It features smallish deep green leaves in whorls with fragrant white, funnel-shaped flowers. Native to Papua New Guinea.
A popular and very easily grown, smaller growing species with brownish scales on the stems and narrow leaves. The pendant pink flowers are freely produced. A great plant for the beginner. (+32\R1\3) RSBG#1985/022 $19.00-B
A new introduction into cultivation, these are dwarf epiphytic evergreen shrubs with thick and leathery, elliptic to oblong leaves. The small but bright yellow flowers hang singly or in pairs from the tips of the branches. They are bell-shaped with widely flaring lobes. This is one of several closely related taxa newly introduced from S Yunnan and adjacent N Vietnam. Many of these have only recently been described as new species by Chinese botanists. Quite hardy for a vireya - we have grown it successfully out in the garden for at least 20 years now.
A floriferous and vigorous, large-growing species with large and fragrant, trumpet-shaped, pure white flowers. An easily grown species with smooth green, almost rounded leaves. Known only from Goodenough Island, Papua New Guinea.
This is a stunning un-named plant we received from Bovees Nursery. It closely matches the description of the famous species hellwigii but does not quite fit taxonomically and I am assuming it is a hybrid of that species. Large, darkly indumented leaves and very large and fleshy, pinkish-red (but looking quite red from a distance) flowers. Quite striking.
Large tropical evergreen shrubs with broadly elliptic to ovate leaves. The white salverform flowers have a pink flush at the base and smell strongly of hyacinths. An attractive but very rare species in cultivation. Native to Papua New Guinea where it occurs both terrestrially and epiphytically from 5,900 to 7,500 ft. This clone features three inch long, fragrant white flowers strongly flushed pink on the tube and lobe margins.
