The rhododendron out front of the garage is, to say the least, happy. Then again, it doesn’t care what time of year it is — it’s either blooming or about to. It runs down the long side of the garage and is clearly visible from the kitchen window (about 20 feet long). But this spring, it’s even crazier than usual. This particular cluster is about the size of a child’s head.Click for larger versions, of course. I’m pretty happy with this shot; the IBs are pretty clear (although the rhodo is a bit of an exhibitionist in that regard).
I couldn’t decide which shot to post… so I posted both!
Hey FAR! Yeah, I've been using that new scheduled thingie myself and think it's pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteI've never thought much about rhododendrons and wondered why people like them so much, but this one could turn me into a fan (even though it's pink), I think.
We have a white one, too, but the blooms aren't nearly as big ("only" 2-3" across). I ought to put up a shot or two though.
ReplyDeleteboth are lovely shots, our nearby parks and gardens are full of beautiful rhododendrons and azaleas at the moment, such beautiful flowers and such wonderful colours
ReplyDeleteThanks, Crafty. I love the descriptions of your walks around the parks & gardens. Edinburgh sounds like a beautiful place to live.
