I love Rhododendrons and used to grow several sp/hybrids/cultivars.

There are 1,000's and even Rhodo experts struggle to name them/do not always agree...even when the specimen is in front of them.

I live near Glendoich where 3 generations of the Cox family collected seeds and  started a nursery specialising in Rhodo's.

Many factors come into consideration.....time of flowering/shape size of flowers /colour of buds compared to open flowers/shape, size of  leaves.

Inudendum etc etc etc.

SO...

this is merely a suggestion/my best guess.

Rhododendron macabeanum.

Leaves are enormous.
