Following her nose: rhodos all the rage

Julia Godfrey (24) smells a Princess Alice rhododendron at the Rhododendron Dell in the Dunedin Botanic Garden on Saturday.

A three-day programme celebrating rhododendrons took place in Dunedin over the weekend.

The celebration featured garden tours and talks at Glenfalloch Gardens, Larnach Castle and Olveston Historic Home.

The first celebration was held 50 years ago.
