I tried to find a Nova Zembla rhododendron today. A week ago, I saw some with swelling buds, but I didn't buy one then.

Three places I tried are are now sold out. I can special order one, but if it's too late too see it bloom, I'll just wait until fall.

If any of you in the area have this and can let me know if they're done blooming, I would appreciate it. I thought I had another week or two.
