Late Spring Rhododendrons

On yesterday’s walk I saw many rhododendrons. They have almost finished their lifespan, but are still impressively beautiful.

The classic pink rhodos.
So frilly and pretty. A spring gift.
The white rhodos (also known as western azaleas; they are a rhodo sub-species) have a mildly sweet scent.

Happy long weekend Monday.

Blooming Everywhere!

I am at home in British Columbia where everything is a-bloom.

Common viburnum.
Rue or Basket of Gold
This rue was being used as a ground cover, but it’s beautiful in a hanging pot, too.
Viburnum opulus. This is a sub-species of the plant in the first picture, but it has been hybridized to produce these rich, dense blooms.

Isn’t spring great? Happy Saturday.
