Per Magnus Jørgensen introduces a new Rhododendron cultivar from the Bergen University Gardens' Arboretum, in honour of the 25th anniversary of the Norwegian Rhododendron Society ('Den norske Rhododendronforening'). It is named 'Maid of Norway', after Princess Margaret, born in Bergen, who died on the journey to Scotland to marry Crown Prince Edward, and is most likely a cross between Rh. wardii var. puralbum and a white form of Rh. campylocarpum.
