Near here is Glendoick Gardens..owned by the Cox family.
The gardens are open to visitors in April and May.
I have visited it on many occasions.
3 generations of plant hunters that collected/grew Rhododendrons.
Kenneth Cox travels the world to id Rhododendrons in collections and has written books on it.
"Born in 1964 into a family of renowned plantsmen, Kenneth Cox is grandson of planthunter, writer and nurseryman Euan Cox and son of Peter Cox VMH. The three generations were and are considered the world's leading experts on rhododendrons. "
He says...."With 900 Species and almost 30,000 named cultivars, identifying rhododendrons is a skilled job which only a handful of people are qualified to do. "
