My Father-In-Law's Favourite Rhododendrons

P5090718

My father-in-law tells me that these is his favourite rhododendron in his garden. It's a deceptive flower - look how delicate the spots are and the beautiful cerise shading on the outside of the petals. All this blanches away once the flowers get full sunlight, leaving bright white flowers in its place.

Those are pretty flowers! Do you know many flower types? Might have to show you pictures of my neighbors - always wondered what they were but beautiful non-the-less!! I need to get me a better garden :)

AH! That's what they're called! They're all over the neighborhood and I find myself admiring and wondering what they are!

My rhodo has one leaf. I am blaming bunnies and peacocks.

They are beautiful! I had no idea they turned white. See how much I know about flowers? Expert gardener, I am.
