Hybridized by Louis Mensing of Eugene, Oregon under the name of ‘Yaku Fairy’ x semilunatum (the taxonomists changed the name of semilunatum to mekongense), so it is better known under that name.

What a magnificent rhododendron with its huge trusses of shimmering apricot, warmed with cream and kissed on the edges with shining, almond blossom pink! This beautiful flower is further accented by a reddish flare that encircles the center. When young, the foliage has a slightly crinkled texture, which seems to be smoother on an older plant.

10222 Rhododendron ‘Lodauric Iceberg’ — (auriculatum x ‘Loderi’) 6', 0°F, L, 4/3. A tall plant with long leaves and large trusses of fragrant, white flowers with green centers.

11133 Rhododendron ‘Loderi Queen Mary’ — (fortunei ssp. fortunei x griffithianum) 6', 0°F, M. This is a new Loderi variety to us, but a very old cross.

10897 Rhododendron ‘Loderi Sir Edmund’ — (fortunei ssp. fortunei x griffithianum) 6', 0°F, M, 4/3-4. Very fragrant pale pink flowers make this rarely-seen member of the ‘Loderi’ especially nice. 10-15", 15-21"

This hybrid is often thought to be a member of the ‘Loderi’ group because of the word "Loder" in its name. While it does have R. griffithianum as one of its parents, as do the ‘Loderi’, that is the only relationship. ‘Loder’s White’ has a large, upright truss opening from a tall, candelabrum bud. It first opens white with a slight yellow in the throat and a pink picotee edge. 15-21", 30-36", 36-48", 48-60"
