Meet this beauty at almost 2000 m asl in the top of volcano in Sumatra! I'm amazed by this Tropical Rhodendron section, Vireya. I have seen White, Orange, Super Red, and Super Yellow in the same location.

Rhododendron viriosum x christianae flowering again, in the dead of winter this time. 🌱 🌴 #vireya

Backdrop is some fresh plastic sheeting I stapled to the interior of the wall studs to help insulate the greenhouse against the forecast cold snap.

There are three bright red flowers, one facing towards the camera. It has stamen and pistil visible. The background is green foliage

This beautiful #Vireya #rhododendron is growing in the garden beds at Victoria Park, Camperdown. Rhododendron lochiae is originally from the cloud forests of far north Queensland
