Wow, I found a page you are gonna LOVE...it had tons of results for an orange flowered rhodie...http://www.rhododendron.org/search_intro...


I didn%26#039;t run the search specifically for which ones will grow in your area, since I don%26#039;t know your planting zone, but you can input all the data you like on the page I linked for you, and see what you come up with!





Sounds like fun....


Happy Gardening!
Reply:I own a garden center and we sell an orange pjm deciduous azealea that is not the same as a regular azealea. It is a very bright orange. Perhaps this is what she is thinking of.
Reply:Maybe search the net. If you know someone with one, take cuttings, you%26#039;ll end up with exactly the same plant
Reply:Rhododendrons are mostly found in the Himalayas region in plenty. If you visit India, please go to Uttarkashi via Mussourie,(in UP) and on your way to Yamunotri, at Barkot and Hanuman Chatti, you will find thousands of all types of these plant grown in the both the sides of the hill and also near the river bed. These are not grown by any one. You can also get sugar syrups made from the leaves of these flowers. The flowers are called %26quot;Burance%26quot; in Indian Hindi language of the region. These syrups are supposed to lower blood pressures and generate coolness in the human bodies during thwe summer months.
