Ivydene Gardens Azalea, Camellia, Rhododendron Plant Gallery: Introduction
 

Azaleas Revised and Enlarged Edition by Fred C. Galle (ISBN 0-88192-091-6) has over 300 colour photographs of azaleas with its index of colour illustrations detailing the page for each species or cultivar. Besides detailing all azaleas in the world and their cultivation requirements, it provides a very useful section on companion plants for the Azalea Garden. These should also be relevant for the Rhododendron and Camellia Gardens, since those plants also require an acid soil and some shade.

The Site Map for Individual Azaleas, Camellis and Rhododenrons GIVES YOU DIRECT ACCESS TO the plant description with its photos for ALL THE 10 PLANTS detailed in this Gallery IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER.

Camellias The Complete Guide to their Cultivation and Use by Jennifer Trehane (ISBN 0 1734 7993 0) does what it says in the title.

Manual of Woody Landscape Plants Their Identification, Ornamental Characteristics, Culture, Propagation and Uses Fifth Edition by Michael A. Dirr (ISBN 0-87563-795-7) describes many cultivars of Camellia japonica, Camellia oleifera, Camellia sasanqu and Camellia sinensis.

The Encyclopedia of Rhododendron Species by Peter A. Cox and Kenneth N.E. Cox (ISBN 0 9530533 0X) has 1510 photographs of Rhododendron Species together with the full botanical description and cultivation details for all the temperate species of rhododendrons in cultivation.

Rhododendron Hybrids Second Edition by Homer E. Salley and Harold E. Greer (ISBN 0 7134 7121 2) has 592 photographs of Rhododendron Hybrids from the 5000 hybrids described with their parentage, flowers and foliage.

I and Ivydene Horticultural Services are requesting the donation of the following colour photographs of plants for display in this section:-

  • Flower - to show the shape and colour of the whole flower.
  • Foliage - to show the shape of the leaf and its colour. If its colour changes in the year, then a picture of each changed colour.
  • Form - to show the natural shape/growth habit of the whole plant. If the plant is deciduous, then one with foliage and one without.
  • Fruit - to show the shape and colour of the whole fruit/nut/seed produced after it has flowered.
  • Flower Bed - to show the overall effect of a group of plants together, preferably with the names of each of the plants displayed.

Each main photograph will be displayed in a 150 x 150 pixels graphic item. Each thumbnail photograph will be displayed in 50 x 50 pixels graphic item. Freeway allocates 72 pixels per inch. The photographs require to be in :-

Why do so few Azalea, Camellia or Rhododendron plant nurseries who supply directly to garden owners in the UK and so few garden owners in the UK donate the use of their Azalea, Camellia or Rhododendron plant photos of the flower, foliage, form or fruit/seed to this website? Where else can you compare plants by flower colour, foliage colour, form or fruit/seed shape/colour with their soil type, soil moisture, sun aspect and height?
