Rhododendron Bush

beautiful....i like how your ve done the photo too....

well done bargain... and it must be a happy plant being rescued!!!!!!

Thanks Janeplant. I wanted to show that each bloom is actually a small bouquet plus I love playing around in Photoshop - let's be honest, LOL!

ive used photoshop before...but that action i know i can not do.....small bouquet yes they are :-) not thought to describe them that way.....

It's such a Fab colour Bathgate and a credit to you to revive it from a stick too! Is it in a pot?

Thanks Petaltracey I have it growing in the ground on the west facing side of my house. It likes part sun and part shade so that location is perfect for it. It's a broad leaf evergreen and looks great in the winter against the browns and the grays. Thank you!

My favourite colour of them,my mum had the same in her front garden,it as fond memories for me ,when I see them.

LOL same for me Suey187. I remember growing up that no matter what I was doing, there was always one of these bushes growing nearby. Aren't they just spectacular when in bloom?? They come in all different colors. I think this is my favorite too.

Hi Bloomer. Thanks I'm enjoying your photos too. Say Hi to Thomas.

Thanks too,Bathgate..I will say Hi when we see him on Thursday :o)

Cool. Sounds like he has the world by the tail!

He certainly has..and knows it,I think :o)

Very nice rhododendron, I like the dark blotch in the flowers. Do you grow any mountain laurels? I remember seeing them everywhere in Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut and couldn't believe how huge some of them were.
