their blooms for the next year in the fall. If
you prune now, you'll cut off all the blooms!.

I never prune Rhodos. Unless you count cutting out borer damage. Then I've
done a quite alot.

Everyone was right, but here is a bit of Rhododendron trivia.
One Rhododendron blooms on new growth after it sprouts in the spring. It
is Rhododendron camtshaticum. It is a small deciduous species that grows
in the Bering Straits of Alaska and on the northern islands of Japan. It
has rosy plum flowers and has at least one rare white form.

Wow, that's neat, I didn't know that. I wonder if my neighbor, Henry,
knows about this one....I'm printing out your post and giving it to
him :o) (Henry is an avid rhody grower, I believe you two know each
other through the rhody society).
