While collecting Rhododendrons for the upcoming
Rhododendron festival, forestry officials recorded two new species of Rhododendrons
at Dochula zone (2600 to 3600 meters above sea level). This new discovery has
enriched the diversity of Rhododendron from 46 to 48 species. The recorded new
species have blue flowers which is a complete surprise for the park officials
as all the previously recorded rhododendrons in the Country bear pink, red or
white flowers.
