Keywords: outdoor flower plant From the mountains on either side of the Yunnan-Vietnam border comes the newly introduced, yellow-flowered, big-leaf Rhododendron sinofalconeri. This species has two very different forms from two separate areas, although each form more or less matches the type description. The form from southern Yunnan north of the Red River was first introduced into cultivation from a collection made in 1995 by Peter Cox and me in the Laojun Shan of southern Yunnan. Here they grew near the very top of the mountain where they formed a mini-forest of 20 to 25 ft. high trees. rhodygarden.org/cms/ne-r-sinofalconeri-seh-1/ From the mountains on either side of the Yunnan-Vietnam border comes the newly introduced, yellow-flowered, big-leaf Rhododendron sinofalconeri.
