This may be the only video of this type on the entire Internet. Our very own Gene Cockeram shows you how to pick rhododendrons and azaleas for a flower show. Everyone should view this educational video clip before your next rhododendron flower show. Gene is unbelievable in his knowledge of picking, grooming and showing flowers. Gene and Doris’s mature garden covers about two acres and probably has over 1000 rhododendrons and azaleas. After working with Gene for over two hours, one finds that he is a walking rhododendron encyclopedia. He knows every plant in his garden and if it is a hybrid, the name of it’s parents! He even knows the history of that plant and probably where he obtained it.

Remember that this video has not been done by a professional! But you should learn a lot of great information from it. Hopefully you will all get more blue ribbons and win some trophies after viewing it!

The 27 minute video clip comes in four sizes; tiny, small, medium, and large. Depending on how fast your broadband hook-up is your computer will probably pick what size it likes best. If you have dial-up, you may want to start with tiny. It is fun to watch this video clip in large, but you may have to download the clip first to enjoy watching it without the video clip stopping and going waiting for your slow broadband to download it.

Here is the link to the video clip.
