I first saw these at the Mildred Mathias Botanical Garden at UCLA. I bought a few plants from Bovees in Oregon a few years back and found that they are super easy to grow-fertilize every quarter, rinse daily. These tropical relatives of the rhododendrons found up in Northern California have a great advantage-they are sweetly fragrant!

These grow on the north side of my house and could get more sun. I am waiting for some of my palm trees to get gain some height and then I will mount them near the crowns of the palms, much like folks do with orchids.
