In February, a movie crew for "The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" dressed up the long closed manor house at Elm Bank, the home of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.
This Sunday, the public will get a rare opportunity to get inside the fancied up first floor of the mansion at 900 Washington St., Wellesley. It will double as the setting for the annual flower show of the Massachusetts Chapter of the American Rhododendron Society flower show and plant sale.
Chapter members will be selling small plants propagated from their own private collections and otherwise unavailable commercially.
Rhododendrons aren't the only type of plant popular enough to have their own fan club. Other plant societies dedicated to begonias, cactus, conifers, hollies, hostas, lilacs, roses, herbs, and daylilies will each be on the scene at Elm Bank Sunday to give advice and sell unusual varieties.
