Hardly anything grows in their backyard (except moss) because it's fenced in by a lot of very tall evergreens that block most of the sunlight. These guys are completely under the deck (sunlight... what sunlight...) and have no trouble at all. I think theirs have pink flowers... I had no idea there were so many kinds. Very cool. <abbr><em>Lindsay’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.writingforyourwealth.com/empire-building/choosing-a-profitable-niche-and-scoping-out-the-competition-how-to-build-passive-income-with-article-sites-pt-2/" rel="nofollow">Choosing a Profitable Niche and Scoping out the Competition (How to Build Passive Income with Article Sites Pt 2)</a></abbr></em> My parents have a couple rhodies under their deck in the backyard, and these things are hardy.

I like Nancy Evans and Lemon Mist - two yellows which really add cheer to the spring garden. It’s really true, there are Rhodies for every color preference and foliage desire!

But when I was browsing around the site you mentioned and saw that there are yellow and orange flowered Rhododendrons. They look like they are on fire when they're covered with flowers. 'Orange Marmalade' in particular caught my attention. 'Mango Tango' is also very pretty and its a partial shade plant. I bet it would go a long way towards brightening up someone's lightly shaded garden! <abbr><em>Fern’s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LifeOnTheBalcony/~3/473623900/" rel="nofollow">Rain, Rain Go Away, Come Again Some Other Day: Protecting Your Balcony Garden During a Rain Storm</a></abbr></em> I have a thing against pink flowers and most reds and purples, so I never really considered Rhododendrons.
