    Photographed in a garden in Opoho, Dunedin, October 2014.
    Anyone has a clue of what plant this would be?

    Thank you!

    This is a Rhododendron species, probably R. arboreum which is known to be weedy around Dunedin.

    Thanks Jesse. I think R. arboreum has rather large leaves. In this plant, the leaves are 1cm wide by 3cm long.

    Doug Thomas, curator of the Rhododendron collection at Dunedin Botanic Gardens says: "The rhodo looks like NZ hybrid R. 'Blue Mist' (R. maddenii x augustinii var chasmanthum)"
