Dewy Rhododendron cluster
A glorious blazing red with pale yellow throats and rich brown pollen. Beautiful!
Numbering over 300 species, vireyas can be found growing across much of S.E. Asia, principally in New Guinea, Borneo, Sulawesi, Sumatra and the Philippines. Although these are tropical regions, vireyas mostly grow in cool mountainous areas as epiphytes high in the tall trees of the cloud forest or in more open ground in shrubberies. Here the climate is more temperate and this makes the vireya ideal for wider cultivation across the world.
