Addendum (Rhein Hybrids)

Most of my hybridizing efforts have been focused upon producing a form of yellow elepidote rhododendron, hardy to our area. Thus I am including a list of my favorites (so far) that range from ivory to yellow. The plants are all hardy to -15 degrees F. and for full bloom -8 to -5 degrees F.
