Birth of a Bloomer

The rhododendron is the state flower of West Virginia and we have a lovely large bush in our front yard.  I chose one bud to photograph each day through fully bloomed....amazing.











Ta - da!  And here she is with some of the rest of the beautiful bloomers!


A happy sight each time I pull into my driveway....ahhhh.

  6. This has been a stellar year for the rhododendrons and many of my neighbors have huge old bushes growing in a stunning variety of colors. Really, some are big enough to hide cars or small houses in...thickets I think they are called when they get to that point.
