Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden, before it all unraveled

Anyway... to the garden! Near the entrance...
I have come close to adding Ypsilandra thibetica to my garden. This appears to be one of those plants that is very very good when it's good. And very blah when it's not. Do you have any experience with it?
Just inside the gate there's a sales area for featured plants, and beyond that a larger area with many more plant tables. The light on these plants made them seem extra special.
I took this photo for the moss—but of course the dark leaves draw my attention and maybe yours, they're labeled as Shortia galacifolia.
Those large leaves!
It's tempting to throw out Rhododendron sinogrande as the name, but only because that's the large leaf rhododendron I'm most familiar with.
Schefflera delavayi
I know I photographed this the last time I was here, and I am confident I will photograph it next time, and the time after that.
Side view.
Wow! Podophyllum pleianthum, so early!
Rhododendron macabeanum
Matteuccia struthiopteris, the ostrich fern. All that's left standing are the dried fertile fronds. 
I love them so much!
Blechnum chilense, now known as Parablechnum cordatum.
A close up...

Unknown ID but look... it's a mahonia tree!

Helleborus argutifolius
The green pond...

Rhododendron lanigerum

The crevice garden, looking a bit empty.
Okay, a lot empty actually.
Their Daphne x houtteana looks a little sparse. Actually it was nice to see their plant looking even worse than mine, I guess maybe I'm not doing anything wrong and that's just what it does in February?
Just a couple more photos from inside their greenhouse and then I'll wrap up this post—however a look at the stumpery is ahead next week!

I love this moss-filled column and basket, so many ways to grow cool plants (it does need more plants though).
An orchid on a stick! I have no idea which one. I would have certainly added to my collection from Andy's Orchids (up to four now, 2 from 2019 and 2 from 2020) had the 2021 NWFG Fest have happened. I guess that means I need to double my purchasing in 2022 (fingers crossed the show returns).
I photographed this very orange rhododendron the last time I visited. I didn't know what it was then and I certainly don't now.
Strobilanthes gossypinus, mine is leggy too.
Finally a green wonderland I stopped to admire on my way back to the car. Will I be able to make this stop again in February of 2022 on my way to the NWFG Festival? God I hope so...
