During the late 1960’s, the Vancouver Park Board was the grateful recipient of an extensive collection of hybrid rhododendron and azalea plants. This stunning collection, which still blooms in the park in a spectacular show of color, form and fragrance 50 years later, came from the Royston nursery on Vancouver Island belonging to Mary and Ted Greig.

This collection of photographs was taken during the April 2010 bloom and is dedicated to mothers everywhere.
