After I|'m done misusing military intellegence to blow up the Belladonnas in my garden ... I have another poison-threat, the Plum Sallow (Principes principes). I will post pictures of it's lovely femme fatale flowers later once Iget them uploaded. So beautiful and fragrant! I just can't bring myself to martyr that bush when it's in bloom...

Yeppers. It's also called Rhododendron pricipes, but it's different enough to be reclassified.

I can't find PRICIPES as either a sub genus nor as a species, and I checked other ways to spell it.

Wow, what kind of camera do you use? Awesome photo! I have a hard time getting the auto focus to pick up the right spot like that, and usually takes 5 or 6 tries to get it.

And I just found out that I was misinformed. It's from that family. That big, huge family.... Wait here, I'll be back with the search results in 6 hours....

i think i've heard that plant referred to as some sort of honey suckle around here. i have a bush that looks just like it on the side of my garage. i know they are now considered an invasive plant here in NH but years ago people went crazy for them so everyone seems to have them in their yards.
