Rhododendron Photographs

The ARS is pleased to make photo images available as part of the "searchable" database of hybrid and species rhododendrons. We believe that the image database provides a valuable and unique reference source for rhododendron enthusiasts around the world.

To view the rhododendron photos click on "Plant Data /Rhododendrons" in the drop down navigation menu above. Then select one of the provided search options. In the alphabetized list of search results the camera icon ( ) in the "Photo" column is a link to the photo image. To view the azalea photos click on "Plant Data/Azaleas" in the navigation menu and select one of the search options.

Effort has been taken to obtain images that are true and representative of the named rhododendron hybrids and species. However, considerable variations in flower coloration and form can exist between individual plants and different flower trusses on the same plant, especially for the rhododendron species. In addition, for some varieties, flower color may change as the flower ages. Colors also are affected by ambient light conditions, film type, photo conversion techniques, digital camera settings, compression methods, computer monitor settings, etc. Please refer to the database "text" description for a more accurate color description as published in the plant name registration record.
