We took our oldest Rhody out today 🤪 My mom and I planted it roughly 31 years ago 😭 It fell victim to lace wing bugs. We tried everything to save it. Our other rhodys an azaleas that are more shaded are doing better. Don't plant them in the sun because the lacewings thrive there. Sadly they have become a problem in recent years #lacewingbug #killerbugs #rhodykiller 8.11.19

Sorry. #rhododendron-advice

Thank you Susan @novicegardenlover

That's a shame but you got to enjoy it for a long time!

Absolutely! It's been a beautiful spring bloomer. Now we have many more plants to enjoy @gjones

What a job! We been there done that! Good work Bob!💘😍

It's always sad to loose an ole faithful plant especially with a happy memories attached to it. Time to plant new happy memories and hopefully replace the rhododendron in a more shady spot

Sorry to hear you lost it 😔 I’m sure you’ll find plenty to fill the gap ☺️

Look at these mahoosive flowers 🌺💚 and this one is probably 20 ft tall. It has room to stretch since we took out overgrown photinea. #rhododendron #mygardenla #perennialla #pink #pinkflowers #big #bigplants #spring May 2019

Thank ya ma'am 😊♥️ @ShelleySnyder

I enjoy this one. It's kind of hidden but worth the peek around the apple trees @cyndi @KariSamuel

Welcome!💘😍

Beautiful 😍

Thank you Jyotu. Mother nature is amazing isn't she 🌺💚 @jyotu

Yes 😍

Stunning plant beautiful colour 👌💕💕💕💕

This surprised me. #latebloomer #rhododendron #pink #lacewingpests 10.21.18

I know it Cyndi. I thought just the same thing! I was underneath water blasting the lace wings one last time. I don't know why I've not seen it @cyndi

Oh wow!! That looks big! When mine gets any late they are tiny!😂 Impressive Laura!💘😍

It's very timely to keep me working on them @ShelleySnyder

Gorgeous 💗

FABULOUS😍🌸

Wow that's a nice surprise!

Darn I want one of those!! But of course Texas just will turn it to toast!!! It’s so pretty Laura😊💕

What a lovely colour Laura, my dwarf rhodie is flowering too 💖💖

The rhodies are still infested with the lace bugs. I've never applied any type of horticulture oil so I'm going to do that before the rain. I have fertilized them well. Last summer we introduced 1000 lady bugs. This summer, not many of them around. I have sprayed water aggresively under the foliage twice during summer and applied neem oil. We have huge 30 year old rhodies, big job and none of it is helping. They look awful 10.18.18

Oh nooooo that sounds a nightmare for you and hardwork too hope you manage to win the battle 😮😕😥😣

Oh dear!! 🤞 for you!💘😍

I'm discouraged Keely. The poor babies. @keely ♀️💖🤔😐

I'll have a little cheese with my whine Shelley. Please 🧀🍷 @shelleysnyder

Oh I had hoped the neem had worked 😢 that’s a big job, hope it works for you Laura, they’re such lovely plants 🤞🏼

Have some extra cheese!☹️😉💘😍

Ok garden goddess, but do you mean the entire underneath of them all? Instead of the horticultural oil? I don't know what I'll do to be honest. It's wearing me out. I'm not 45 anymore! Lol! ♀️😐💜 @cyndi

Thank you Rachel. If I lose all of these big things I'm going to be very unhappy. On the other hand I'm getting tired of the battle and I could start a whole new garden if I am unsuccessful 🧀🍷💖 ♀️😚 @rachelbrooks

Well hopefully you’ll save them my lovely 🤞🏼🙏🏼 but glad to see you’re thinking positively...there’s always a silver lining...you can go plant shopping! Good luck sweetie 😘

😘 @rachelbrooks

Good idea Cyndi. That's more my speed! I have 9 of them. 9 gigantic, sick rhodies. @Cyndi

From the top. Ooh I love these two. Sorry for over indulging. They get prettier every year. Full of bees. #pink #rhododendron #beefood #ilovethissomuch

Indulge away!!😄💘😍

I second that!🌸🌸🌸

I third it..👍🏼💓

I have a ton of buds but no flowers yet 🙏 🐝

The pinkies are out and they are buzzing with bees! #pink #rhododendron #goodoldplants #iloverhodies #beefood #buzzingrhodie #feedthebees

They're beautiful

WOWZERS!💘😍

Bee-u-ti-ful🌸🐝🌸🐝🌸🐝🌸🐝

Oh gosh... You know, I don't usually like pink, but I really love this😍💗💗💗

These were from my mom, 1000 years ago. She brought me pink. @gjones @ShelleySnyder @kimguy @SikoMa

They aged well😍😂

Lol! Xo @sikoma

Lol! Xo @sikoma

What a wonderful thing to still have!!💘😍

Wow, so pretty Laura! 😍

She planted my old rhodies with me Shelley. Good memories. We were probably arguing, still good memories @ShelleySnyder

#pink #rhododendron

Beautiful! 🌸💕

Wow! How'd you get your rhododenron to bloom like that?!

Stunning Laura!!💘😍

Thank you Rachel. @rachelbrooks

Jessica, we put these in soon after moving in some 30 plus years ago. Haven't done a lot to them. @uaskigyrl

Thank you Shelley. Xo @ShelleySnyder

You are so welcome friend!💘😍

Oh ok! Mines only 2 years old. Maybe I only got 2 flowers 😂😉😂😉

You'll get more. Get a rhodie feed for it. I just started feeding mine 2016, believe it or not, and they have more flowers than ever now. They love acid. You can read up on adding citrus peels to soil also. Good luck with yours. These came tiny in one gallon containers #onceuponatime @uaskigyrl

😍💕💕💕

Spectacular 🌸🌸

Can't believe how many buds are on my poor old rhodies. They're putting on a show despite their condition. They have bugs that we're fighting with other bugs, but it is a slow process. #yellow #rhodie1

What a fab colour...👌🏼

It is nice and tropical now. Will be yellow when it opens Elaine. One that I haven't seen often. @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Gorgeous 😍

Wow opened already 😍

More to open later on,@columbiariver

First this year 4/8/17 #rhododendron #rhodie1 #macro

Looks like it'll be a beauty!

That's doing well!

Looks great! What color? I had one that was about 5ft. High about 3 foot wide with lilac colored flowers, she was a beauty. We had to move and i was scared to hurt the roots to take with me 😥

Thanks @kymmastin This is either pink or white. I bet it was hard to leave yours behind. Sounds like it was pretty. I have a nice lavender colored one too. I'll share. They are native to our area and the ones we planted years ago are getting nice and big. I will add photos in spring. I have a few colors. Azaleas too.

Can't wait to see you yours in bloom! I'm in ky so they're not too common here.
