Rhododendron trial at Ilam Gardens

A surprise await me when I first visited Ilam Gardens at the grounds of the University of Canterbury. I was so amazed at the spectacular sight that greeted me at every step I t00k.The beauty is simply breathtaking and the scent unforgettable. Its my Garden of Eden !. I regretted not having my camera with me. The whole night my dreams were of the colourful rhododendrons and azaleas flowering on the river banks and reflected in the water. I woke up feeling peaceful and happy. I pack my camera and spend the whole morning walking through the Rhododendrons and Azaleas trial at Ilam gardens again.

Below are some of the beautiful blooms that I have taken:-
