Rhodies are at it again...


I can never remember the exact time my luscious pink rhododendron likes to bloom, but, apparently it's early May!

Over the past few days, the tight buds have swollen, burst open and unfolded fat fluffy blossom that look good enough to eat!

I took pictures of one bloom as it uncurled itself over two or three days and look at it now!

No clue what the cultivar might be, but I think I'll name it: Pale Pink Ballerina in honor of its delicate tutus that dance at the end of its stems!

I love this time of year!
