Description:

Flower cluster of Rhododendron carneum elegantissimum, a plant in the family Ericaceae displaying pearly pink petals enhanced with yellow dots. This variety was created by William Smith, from Norbiton, by crossbreeding R. arboreum with R. molle ssp. japonicum. After serving as gardener to the Earl of Liverpool, Smith set up his own nursery around 1830.
