Rhododendron Miss Muffet, Vireya Tropical Rhodie
Purchased this one recently. Unfortunately I could not get it into my plant room until after 5 days and I think the humidity in my apartment was a little too much for it. The blooms needed a little help opening, but here they are.
What surprised me was that the blooms are fragrant. There is a slight sweet smell to my plant room now and if I stick my nose in the flower there is no mistaking it.
THe plant is about 1 foot tall.
You can check out my other vireyas here:
