    Hi .. can some one help me identify this plant. It is growing in my front lawn and flowers during May - June. The flowers are pink in color. It failed to flower jast year, not sure why.

    Flowers in May June.
    Pink Flowers.
    Ever Green Plant.
    Dosen't seem to grow much.

    It does not seem to have seeds, I am thinking of growing another from a cutting.

    It looks like a rhododendron to me motogod. I have one that produces lilac flowers in May/June.

    You can make a new plant by simple layering. Put a branch on the ground and weigh it down with a heavy rock. It should take root and be ready to grow on it's own in a couple of years' time.

    Looks exactly like my Rhododendrons.
