White and Pink Rhododendron

The early flowering rhododendron I shared a couple of days ago came into full bloom shortly after I took that photo and here is how it looks when the flowers on the clusters are all open. This is why I never saw the shy little pink one hiding in the undergrowth, as it is such a prolific bloomer and is so eye-catching that it’s hard to see anything else. At times it seems to me that our spring doesn’t really get going until June, but I see that this was taken on May 21st, so I shouldn’t be so pessimistic! It won’t be too long before we see the days really getting longer and perhaps the sun’s rays will be strong enough to melt at least some of the snow that has accumulated over the past few weeks. I hope this pretty thing helps to lift your spirits first thing in your day. Flower a Day #515 View all posts on the Home page.
