Unknown Rhododendron

The Willow Tree Garden is hosting many of the newest rhododendrons I've rescued from nursery sales. This year they have all shown their first flowers. This particular shrub is a beauty - but what's it called?

I found two possible labels in the kitchen drawer - this could be a long shot, but somewhere in my garden I have the rhododendrons Percy Wiseman and Virginia Richards. Hmm.. Wonder if they knew each other? Wonder if this beautiful shrub is one of them?

Beautiful Flowers

The unknown rhododendron (which lives along from the Willow tree in the end part of the garden) flowered late this season - the buds took ages to break into flower, then three really hot days caused the petals to wilt and drop. I'm glad I took my twice daily rhododendron photographs!
