We recently visited the world renowned gardens at Glendoick, near Perth which houses a large collection of rhododendrons and azaleas. At the end of April the display was in full spate and very spectacular. One plant that particularly caught our eye, or noses, was Tinkerbird which even on a relatively small plant produced a heady scent, not something that you would normally expect from a rhody. We liked it so much we bought our own; a small pot specimen, and it has lived up to its promise and is producing a gorgeous fragrance which can be smelt every time we walk by.
