'Old Port', the largest Rhododendron in Wales, if not the World, is coming into flower! Planted in around 1860, this is an utterly stunning shrub that you just have to see to believe.

Thess pictures were taken on Wednesday 1st May - we have three 'Roddy Walks' a year in which head gardener Roddy Milne gives a guided tour of the woodland gardens. We were delighted to have a large group of people to pose in front of 'Old Port' to show how huge he is. The close ups are the few flowers already open.

More pictures will follow as the grand old fella gets into his stride and gets more fantastic every day.
