Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden—a June visit

On my way back to Portland from the Vancouver BC 2023 Study Weekend event I made a stop at the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden in Federal Way, WA. I tend to visit the garden in February (on my way to the NW Flower and Garden Fest) and in the fall when I visit Seattle friends. Summer visits are rare...I have absolutely no idea what this green flowered beauty is, it's located on the pathway to the garden entrance.
A flower close-up.
Rhododendron 'Ever Red'
Aka Rhododendron 'Ever Lusting After' (cause I can't seem to get my hands one, or at least one that lives long enough to be planted in the garden)
Adiantum aleuticum var. subpumilim
A late June visit isn't prime rhododendron bloom time, but since I love this genus for the foliage, not the flowers, it was a great time for me to wander the garden. Rhododendron proteoides...
Rhododendron alutaceum var alutaceum
There were many handsome specimens that I didn't get the name of, that won't stop me from sharing their photos...
Maybe Rhododendron thayerianum?

Love this cement or hypertufa container.
I have no idea what this adorable little guy is.
I'm pretty sure the plant in the 12:00 position is a cassiope.
Check out that foliage! Who needs flowers? Who wants flowers? Not I...

Colorful tomentum and foliage pleats, I *swoon*...
Visiting an old friend, Dryopteris polylepis...
And meeting a new friend...
Dryopteris decipiens (I have no idea what the green fronds are)
Maybe Rhododendron macabeanum?

Rhododendron cardiobasis

On the ground plane is Blechnum chilense aka Parablechnum cordatum, the Chilean hard fern.
An entire sea of it! (I love it so)
Rhododendron fortunei ssp. fortunei
Maybe Rhododendron 'Golfer'?
I couldn't manage to pare down my photos to a quantity fit for just one post, so we'll be back at the RSBG on Friday!
