Assortment of purple\lilac\blue flowering Rhododendrons

'Puccini'

           100% pure blue  does not exist in the 'Rhodoworld'. Yet there are rhodo-hybrids, which come quite near to it, especcially the group lepidote (small-leaved) hybrids in the list right below. And in the elepidote (= large leaved) rhododendrons there are many hybrids called 'Blue-this' or 'Blue-that'  which are at their best purple\lilac\blue. For a complete list I would need many many pages - this is a (my) selection out of them.
